reconnect network drive

I know how to connect and reconnect a network drive, but the problem is that I'm working on a corporate network where I'm just a user and my options are limited.

1. If you use the "reconnect on login", it just doesn't work. Network drive is either unavailable or gone on restart.
2. Can't use any scripts as someway they found out how to not allow you to run any CMD (or other runnable file) that is not listed in their list

I'm not trying to hack anything here, this is a stupid network drive, with stupid files, and I legally have the password to be able to connect any time I want.
But I'd like my Windows to have my drive auto-connected.
For example I can put shortcuts in the StartUp folder, but CMD files in there won't run.

How do I achieve auto-connect of this network drive ?

If you're working in an IT-managed environment, why don't you ask your IT staff for help? If your work has Active Directory, they can create a logon task to map network drives for your user account.

I don't ask because they will tell me to bugger off & come back with real problems, like the mail server is down, or something of that impact.
