When you create the Mapped Drive in MyComputer, there is a tick box for 'Reconnect at Logon', it shouldn't ask for the password again.

See this article here on CodeProject on how to Map Network Drives from code,
Map Network Drive (API)[^]

It is in C#, but you should be able to understand it and convert to VB.net quite easily.

In general though, to access network resources and read/write files direct from shares etc. You need to use the NetworkCredential class.

I am sure you need to set NetworkCredential, then when you access the map it will authenticate using the NetworkCredential details.
