I tried all the "Store network password" options I could find and nothing worked.

So, this was my solution. I created a vbscript that connects a network share and placed it in my startup folder. You can do the same thing. Just create a text file in notepad, paste the code below into it. Then change the server, share, username, and password information. Don't delete any of the commas or quotation marks. They are all needed.
