Connecting to XP folder in OS X

[TDI]

I have set up a shared folder in my Win XP installation using the standard Windows network connection wizard.

In OS X, I can then successfully connect to this 'remote' folder by selecting :-
Network / Workgroup Name / Computer Name / Shared folder name.
After entering username and password, an icon duly appears on my OS X desktop.

Drag and drop to this folder in both OS's is pretty well instantaneous. I prefer this arrangement from the security point of view, since it is only Guest OS folders which are shared, not Host OS folders.

My question is :-
Is there a way to get OS X to automatically connect to this 'remote computer', rather than me having to manually connect each time ?

Try this (although I have not):
After mounting your folder, create an alias of it.
Double click the alias.
Or in Finder: when you hit cmd K, you can click on the box with a plus. That will save your connection setting in the list below so you do not have to retype.
Voila.

Thanks.
The alias worked a treat !
