Been a long couple weeks.  Finally got to trying this out.  So far so good.

Thank you for the responses.

This is due to windows 7 using a different password encryption.  There is a setting in the local security policy on windows 7 to make it work just like XP.  
start / control panel / administrative tools / Local security policy / Local Policies / Security Options / Network Security:LAN Manager authentication level = Send LM & NTLM - use LTLMv2 session security if negotiated

Subject: Mapped drive to the IFS - Windows 7

The other mapped drive conversation led me to bring up an issue I have.

Ever since getting a new PC at work with Windows 7 (was previously on XP), accessing the mapped drive to the IFS has become clunky.  I had a number of issues, which I can't recall now, setting up the drive.  However now I have it prompt me for my login when I try to access it.  The pain is the 25 seconds I have to wait for it to give me the sign-on dialog box.  Oh, and if I click "Remember my credentials," the next time I reboot my computer, it appears to try to log onto the drive with my network logon (that's my guess, since if it really remembered my credentials shouldn't it successfully log on?)

I realize that's a bit of rambling there, but I'm curious if other people have Windows 7 and are able to access the IFS a bit quicker than 25 seconds (on the first attempt - subsequent attempts perform much faster as expected).

Thanks,
