Media Center in a workgroup/domain automatically mapping a network drive (For lack of better words… how to use the NET USE Command!)

If your media center is not joined to your domain, yet you still want to map to your video/music/and picture folder you can simple create a batch file to add during bootupit would go something like this!
open notepad,

NET USE M: “\\COMPUTER\SHARE\“ /USER:DOMAIN\USER PASSWORD /PERSISTENT:NO

save this file as conn.bat, and at it to your startup items, I find drag and drop on to all programs, startup works well for this.You don’t want the share to be persistent because when you reboot media center, the system will try to automatically reconnect that share, and you will get an error that it could not connect to the drive (because you would have to retype your credentials) before the batch file fires.
