Prompt for password of network drive after reboot in Windows 7
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to Windows Reference RSS feed Thanks for visiting!
This is a known problem from previous versions of Windows (seen in Windows XP as well)
To resolve (rather workaround) the problem try the command line option as follows:
net use z: “\\server\path\to\share” /persistent:no /user:<username> <password>”
where for Z: is the drive to which it is mapped to.
For instance,
C:User\sai> net use z: “\\server\path\to\share” /persistent:no /user:winref_user mypassword”
This should help. This should also work on Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008/2003.

Hi folks,
I really love the new W7 ! I have installed it nexto my Xp and it runs super !
I also have 2 pc’s with vista, but I already like 7 more
Anyway, my problem:
I cannot connect to my network drive (freecom drive on the lan pe-ex)
It seems he doesnt recognise and trying \\ph-ex doesn’t work either.
Any suggestions?
Sven
