hi, just built a new media center for my daughters bedroom, and decided to use vista home premium on it.
in my home ive 3 XP pro machines and a MCE 2005 machine, which all remember network passwords..
so built the new machine, installed vista, nvidia drivers, TV card drivers etc.. all going well..
now came to mapping network drives and shared libraries etc.. up popped the box
USERNAME:
PASSWORD:
and a tick box (remember password)
so ive created a new user on my network so my daughter can have read only access. after entering user/pass and ticking remember password, all is great.. until i reboot then it says mapped drives couldnt be reconnected, and any shares i attempt it prompts for a user/pass again! (acting like an xp home machine)
do i need to get ultimate to be able to remember network passwords? and why the hell is the option to remember passwords in home premium, but after a reboot it doesnt remember?
is home premium designed this way? to act like xp home and require passwords after a reboot?
this is a totally fresh instal, only finished building the tower 2hrs ago, and all thats been done is graphics & tv card drivers..
