At least in Windows XP (SP1), recently-connected drives are retained like "Recent
Documents" under 'My Network Places' in Windows Explorer. These don't get (re-)connected
until you click on them, and when unconnected they don't show up as in drop-down
file lists so they don't slow things down like a mapped drive. It looks like they
are just folder shortcuts pointing to "\\netmachine\my_shared_dir"; haven't tried
building one manually that way. To connect the first time (or if it drops off the
list), you can do a "Search / for computer" for the name of the computer hosting
the drive to which you want to connect. Then Windows will retain the link / shortcut
for a while. Let us know if you experiment with making the connections more permanent!
Good luck.
