Keeping an SMB folder mounted between startups

I, after some research, found a way to mount remote directories using the
'net use' command.

I saw some articles online that stated these mounted directories are not
maintained between shutdowns. I am currently using a startup script to
remount that directory. Unfortunately, it pops up an irritating and
confusing console window, and would like to find a better(silent) way to
remount, or a way to keep the mounting around between startups.

If I am not able to keep the /network entries around between startups, is it
possible to set-up the /network folder while disconnected from the network?
(the share is accross a WLAN, and there is no way to ensure that the device
will start up in-range of the hotspot)

Thanks again!

If you have a persistent registry and you flush it prior to rebooting the
unit, the mapped network folders do persist. Of course, depending on what
else is going on, you might need to look up MasterKeysInRegistry in the
help...
