I have a home network with 3 computers on it. Two are running win2k and one is running Windows ME. I am the only user on the Win2k machines, and my husband is using the ME machine. He has 3 drives he shares with password protection.
Whenever I log in to either of my 2k machines I alwasy have to type in the passwords for these 3 drives. What can I do to make this happen automatically?
Also, is there a way to login to the machines automatically, without having to type in the username and password?
I am very new to 2000, so please don't assume I know anything in your replies. If these things can be done I could really use specific and step by step instructions. I have read some about login scripts, but they all assume I know things I don't and I just can't figure them out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kat

First: Go to all the machines and make duplicate Usernames and Passwords (make sure they match exactly).
Then when sharing, make sure the correct username is granted access. This will stop the annoying password asking because all the systems think they know who you are then.
Second: yes, there should be an automatic login option. Look in Control Panel in the user's area. If I remember right you just have to highlight the user you want to have automatically logged in and then choose that option.

Oh, and login scripts are things like batch files, which are just a collection of DOS commands that are processed in sequence...
