Mapped Network Drive

[Daniel Bennett <dbennett () PCT EDU>]

Does anyone have experience with mapping a network drive in Windows 7 and XP that would stay mapped during a reboot but 
require credentials after each reboot?  Example below:

I map a G: drive (\\server1\secure<file:///\\server1\secure>) using alternate credentials.  I then use that drive all 
day Monday.  I then power my machine off at the end of the day on Monday.  I come into work on Tuesday and power my 
machine on.  I double click the G: drive in Computer or My Computer and it prompts me for my credentials.

I want the above process to happen.  All I have been able to find is to map it once and have to do it each time or 
remember the credentials.

Any advice would be good.

Thanks,
