You can do this with windows xp. From the control panel click on User
Accounts. Chose a user. In the related task box there is an option
called "Manage my network passwords". From this box you can setup
arbitrary server/username/password combinations.
I don't know of another way to this menu, but I'm sure there are. Its
the "Stored Username and Passwords" manager. A quick google finds
