Skip password of default keyring in Ubuntu 10.04

Today just after getting up my Ubuntu asked me for “Default password for default keyring to unlock”… and that irritated me as I wanted to connect to my home network as everyday. So, to skip this window the next time you start a session you can follow the next steps:

1. Right click on the network icon > Click Edit the connection...
2. Go to the Tab of your connection (Wireless for me), click the network you trust and click Edit...
3. Check the "Make avaiable for all users" checkbox (and watch that the "Connect automagically checkbox is checked too!).
4. Apply.

I hope this helps someone :)

Connecting to a network disk remembering credentials in Windows XP Home

I got tired of entering the password of the account I use to connect to a shared device (a folder) from Windows XP Home Edition (this version does not have enabled the “remember credentials” button in the connect to network drives window).
So I decided to search a way to get rid of that, and its pretty easy:

Net use L: "\\COMPUTER\Shared Folder" /user:USER PASSWORD

You only need to create a .bat file (a text file but changing the extension to .bat) with that linea (adapted to your case) and add it to the Start-on-boot stuff of the PC.
