Based on your explanation of the issue, I just cleaned out all network mappings with net use * /delete, manually disconnected WinExplorer mappings and deleted all credentials and rebooted.
When re-started, I network mapped in WinExplorer checking the 'use other credentials' - then entering the cloud user credentials from my NAS. Used the NAS name (not the IP address) in the network mapping and checked the keep credentials and re-connect at logon. When creating more drive mappings to the same NAS, I followed the same process, but didn't try and enter new credentials ('cos it errors if I did).
Hey presto, all shares mapped to drives and persist at login.
Thanks greatly for pointing me in the right direction, and helping me to find a little more about net use, Windows credentials manager and to keep persisting ;-)
