Not necessary to get TweakUI.  Simply open Control Panel -> Network and
change the default client from "Client for Microsoft Networks" to
"Windows Logon", apply and shutdown/reboot.  You will no longer be asked
for a user name and password.  They will be passed automatically.
You will have to change the setting back to "Client for Microsoft
Networks" if you wish to change the password or user name in the future.
