Automatic Connect to Server on Boot-up...

in windoze you can have a "mapped drive" automatically be there on bootup etc. Through apple you can Connect To Server and it puts the drive on the desktop. I've found myself doing this everytime I boot up.

So my question is obvious. Is there a way to do it automatically? Startup script?

with these drives mounted , open systenm preferences>accounts>select your admin account>startup items tab>drag mounted drives into startup items.
