TECHNICAL NOTE:
Windows users: Once you log in to a private
(password-protected) share, you must log out in order to access an-
other private share. For this reason, it is recommended for Windows
users to map private shares before mapping public ones so that you
won’t need to log out each time.

Tools
and
then
Map Network Drive
(

ences > Accounts > Login Items
