WinXP Home: Temp Account Issues

For some reason, when we turn our WinXP machine on here at work, it won't reconnect to 2 mapped drives and a networked printer, but only when we log in under the TEMP account. Is there an issue with naming an account temp? The other accounts work fine.

For some reason, when we turn our WinXP machine on here at work, it won't reconnect to 2 mapped drives and a networked printer, but only when we log in under the "TEMP" account. Is there an issue with naming an account temp? The other accounts work fine. If I double click a mapped drive it pops up a logon screen. I use the same account name and pass asI do logging in and it will work. It just doesn't connect to them automatically. The option to do so is checked by the way =) I even re-mapped both drives AND the networked printer. Is there a policy that needs to be edited? I checked the computer I am logging into, and everything is fine. Permissions are good and password is set to never expire for the temp account. I can't seem to find the problem.
