I have a somehow similar problem with my laptop. When I change location, I need to remap everything. Is there a way to give UID and password to Net Use (I am using XP Pro)?

I was usig NetSwitcher on Windows 2000 with my previous computer and it was doing the job nicely. But it doesn't seems to work with XP!
