I want to map a drive to a document server that requires a password, allow
all users on the system to use this mapped drive, but not let them see the
password. Any ideas?

I've tried the following:
using a simple .bat file that has the code:
net use s: "shared folder path" /user:username password /PERSISTENT:NO
Then I can put this .bat file in the all users>startup folder, however, the
user can just right click on this file and see the password.
Any way to keep this file un-editable, but still executable?

Also I have tried My Computer>Tools>Map Network Drive, and "Connect using a
different user" however, even if i select reconnect at logon, it will prompt
me for the password again when I relogin, and it will not show up under other
users.

Thanks for your help.

Why not just grant them permissions server side?
