If you wanted to do this properly you would apply a logon script to that user's profile on the Domain Controller. Probably the best way to do it.

And googling for Windows Logon scripts give multiple guides.

If you wanna be lazy you can always just drop some bat files in to their startup folder...what I've done for a workgroup before.

The proper way to do it is as mentioned via Active Directory at the Domain Controller. You basically write out all the logon scripts (usually .bat files) and place them in the netlogon folder of the server. Then simply point each users profile to the desired logon script. So say you have a subfolder named RIKI and one ADMINS you would under the users account in active directory point the logon script to riki\rikislogon.bat etc etc. You could also do a GPO, but this works good.

That is what our logon script looks like.
The first part deletes any existing drives with that letter. It then maps the letter to the location.

net use g: /delete /y
net use h: /delete /y
net use g: \\filesrvr\gdata
net use h: \\filesrvr\hdata
net time \\filesrvr /set /y
