Mapped Drive Won't Connect on Startup (Windows 8) [View all]

My personal laptop won't connect to my SkyDrive on startup. When I go to Explorer, it then loads and connects the drive. Is there anyway I can get it to connect on startup? Do I need a script?

It's part of a Workgroup.

Specs:
Windows 8 64-bit OS
Inspiron 17R Special Edition
2.4GHz Intel Core i7-3630QM quad-core processor with 6MB cache
Intel HM77 chipset
8GB DDR3 1600MHz memory
1TB 5400 RPM hard drive
2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics

Thanks for your help!

Do you have to log into Windows Live to access the drive, then map it? Glassunion Apr 2013 #1
