Windows XP SP2 doesn't remember network share passwords

[Brandon]

Well the thing is all other systems are probably running another os, yes? From what I understand this is a xp home(or maybe pro, I can't remember..) specific problem.

This should not be done ideally write?

If I were to be taking a microsoft test for a certification, no I would not choose this option as it isn't best practices. For your small home workgroup, you should be fine
