The reason: If I ever need to *change* the drive mapping, I can just
adjust the login script. However, if instead you make the drive mappings
permanent, this doesn't work.
(Indeed, Windows NT *defaults* to temporary mappings, so the switch was
unecessary. However, Windows XP defaults to persistent, hence the need
for me to add that switch.)
The [vastly more complex] VB script they're using at HQ tests for and
deletes any existing mappings, which also achieves the same job.
