save network password in XP Home

is there anyway to save the password used to log onto a server in XP Home? i know in XP Pro i can click the server to connect to, type my password and click remember password or something and i never have to type it again. is there a way to do this on Home?

OR

is there a way to not use and passwords when logging onto the server?

what i have is a server that i have my music files on and everytime i restart the pc and want to listen to music it gets anoying having to type the password to get to the server. is there a way around this? the only user on the server is Administrator.

Is that workgroup server or domain server, I'll say workgroup there is way you should share all folders that you would like to have access or it's better to put the files or folders you wont to share in one folder share that folder and then from XP workstation map network drive \\server\shareddocs and I think that will ask you for a password only first time.
