Hi-

We have a VPN enabled on our work server.  It works out great, as long as
you want to double-click the link and then select "OK" for your username and
password. Let's say I've got a remote computer that I want connecting to the
network drives on start up (and using outlook).... how would I get the VPN
connection to automatically start up and log in during the start sequence of
XP Pro?

Look at using the rasdial command in a batch file. Open "Help and Support"
and search on rasdial for the exact command syntax...
