The Microsoft Windows 3.0 and 3.1 File Manager Net Connection section can
save previous server and sharename net connections. However, it does
not save passwords that are required for the connection. This behavior
is by design, to enhance network security. You must type the password
each time the network connection is made.

This information does not apply to later version of Windows.
