Mapping Drives

I have a small network at home consisting of (2) Win98 boxes and an NT Server Box. On each of the Win98 computers I have a drive mapped to a shared folder on the NT machine. All works fine except that on occasion I lose the mapped drive on the 98 machine. I mapped the drives through Windows Explorer. Is there a better way to go about doing this other than sharing a folder on the NT box and manually mapping that to a drive? Is there a way in the profile to automatically map this?

Put a logonscript in the LOGON share at the server. Download KiXtart and make a little script. Easy!
(btw...with a logonscript you can do more than just map drives. You can change any user's/machine's registry. Make logfiles. Install updates for your antivir.prog., unattended install of almost every program...etc :)
