You could setup a batch file to run at login that does a net use to map the drive.

auto run a bat script in windows 7 at login

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use /?
The syntax of this command is:

NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
        [/USER:[domainname\]username]
        [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
        [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
        [/SMARTCARD]
        [/SAVECRED]
        [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

I'll try. Here is an example on my network, which has 3 computers, Desktop (this one), Webserver and Laptop.

From a Command Prompt I enter:

net use z: \\webserver\hp_h

That accesses the hp_h share on webserver and assigns it the letter Z: Then I can access anything on Z: from this computer (Desktop) via Windows Explorer or Command Line.

Now put that in a batch file, we'll call it LinkPubluic.bat using your setup, something like:

LinkPublic.bat
net use z: \\xxxxxxxx\Public (xxxxxxxx is the name of the computer with the shared Public folder)

Place LinkPublic.bat in your Startup folder:

Drag the batch file to Start, All Programs, Startup. Now when you login as that user, it will launch the batch file.
