Or if you have many servers/logons to maintain, write a script or C routine.
e.g. a logon line from my C routine:

rdesktop -0 -x l -a16 -r disk:ztmp=/home/vrman/ztmp -r
printer:HPLJ_P2015dn -r printer:Home_BW -r printer:HPLJ_4600dn -r
printer:HPLJ_5500dtn -n delta -d <domain> -u administrator -p
<password> -g 1670x950 <ip_address> -T Admin-Saturn-Console

logon as the console, at lan speed, 16 bit color, redirect to my
transfer folder,
redirect a few printers (note: first one listed will be default), connect name,
domain, logon name, password, window size, ip, window title

much more available at "man rdesktop"
Note: Some features not available on all windows server flavors

Agreed, nothing to type in order to access your drive.  If you did it correctly
it will just show up in Windows Explorer.  Don't worry, even the Windows
administrator can't access your computer via that drive - unless you allow it.

great tool - enjoy.
