Good morning!

I have a slight problem. I`ve just mapped a disk drive from "Tools --> Map Network Drive". I chose "Reconnect at login" and "Logon with a different user". I`m 100% sure that the user name is "administrator" and that the password field shall remain blank.

The problem: When I reboot the PC and Windows is restoring network disk drives, this password field pops up! All I need to is to leave it blank and press OK or Enter.

It`s quite irritating, since I`m gonna do this with 4 more disk drives, and don`t want hit the Enter-key 5 times each time I start Windows.

Anybody know how I can bypass this password prompt?

Thanks in advance!

set your logon accounts password the same on the other boxes.

you should not have a blank admin password.

You should learn and practice good network administration principles. start with creating accounts on all pcs with same passwords. Logon using those accounts and you won't get the authenication popups

Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
