Hi there -- I've got a small home network with a PowerBook G4 (OSX 10.3.7) and three Windows XP boxes. I can easily mount the three Windows hard drive shares on my Mac (amazing that the Mac networks better with Windows than Windows does!!), but whenever I reboot, it loses those connections. Is there a way I can have the Mac "remember" these mounted servers each time? |

There is no answer at this time. |

Before doing anything, you will need to have the server folders mounted. You'll then need to go to System Preferences which is located in your "Applications" folder. After System Preferences launches, click on the "Accounts" preference pane. Select the user that you want to auto-mount something with, probably yourself, and click on the "Startup Items" button near the top of the pane. Click on the plus button near the bottom to add a startup item. You'll be presented with a browser window, at which point you'll want to browse to the network folder. Add that folder by cliking on the "Add" button. Make sure that the folder has a check mark next to it and then reboot. |

Thanks Villaged -- that worked like a charm! Please feel free to "answer" that formally if you're a researcher. Also, I'd love to know how to rename those shares on my desktop if that's possible. Right now, they're called the rather ugly "SERVER_DOCS" and I'd rather it read something likek "Shared Docs". |
