I have been trying to setup network drive on Windows 8.1 for a Box account. Initially it didn't connect so followed these steps here.
As soon as i enter the registry values(WDNP32,SnacNp,RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient) the box account gets connected.
But the problem is the registry values gets reverted back to original after a restart.
Why registry is not saving these values? How do i save it permanently?
Thanks!!!

I would use a logon script instead of manually messing with the registry.
To do a user profile script:
open:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
For example, to map a drive letter M with the current Windows account
net use M: \\serverName\ShareName
If you need to use alternate credentials on the share, use the following format:
net use M: \\ServerName\ShareName /user:UserName yourPassword
.bat

Is this format correct? net use I:https://dav.box.com/dav/user:James 12345
– Ram Kumar – 2013-11-18T13:16:07.273There is a space between the i: and the server, and the server and the /user switch but yes. net use I: dav.box.com/dav /user:James 12345 – Austin T French – 2013-11-18T14:08:47.653

1What did it do? Call it from the command prompt and give me the errors, better yet append the errors to your post. – Austin T French – 2013-11-18T15:00:10.537
Sorry for the delayed reply.It says "System error 67 has occurred" "The network name cannot be found" And the entry is the format you told "net use I: https://dav.box.com/dav /user:someone@gmail.com passphrase"

– Austin T French – 2013-11-19T05:00:17.003Is there any other solution for this? – Ram Kumar – 2013-11-19T05:28:06.523
A Box account?
Why not use a logon script with net use? – Austin T French – 2013-11-18T12:25:11.103
@AthomSfere sorry but I don't know what is a logon script. I'm trying to setup a network drive just because the upload via site is too slow.Whereas network drive does so quickly. – Ram Kumar – 2013-11-18T12:27:35.937
