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.
