I connected to my windows share in Thunar specifying the username and password. The dialog has the option to remember the credentials forever, but they are forgotten when I shutdown my PC, because I have to enter them everytime I access the share.
Why is the share being discarded?
Is it possible to permanently mount the share so that I can access it like any other folder?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I saw several posts about this issue and have added a mount point for the share in /media.
The files are now visible, but the folder is read only. The Windows PC shows that UbuntuUser (created specifically for this purpose) has full control of the shared folder.

Have you tried changing the permissions of the folder or opening thunar with gksudo?

Thanks in advance, Steve The good news is your Bodhi installation has everything needed to 'remember' network logins. These are stored by gnome-keyring.
The only thing you need to do is create a new keyring.
The GUI method is to use "Seahorse".
Install Seahorse package -
sudo apt update && sudo apt install seahorse
Now go to the accessories menu & click 'Passwords & Keys' application.
- On the top left of the app click + symbol to add a new key or item.
- Choose the third item 'Password Keyring' (application & network passwords)
It will prompt you to name the keyring - I use the same name as the logged in user, up to you.
- Next, It will prompt you to assign a password to the Keyring - NOTE this is for encryption, this is not the network password
- You may omit the password by hitting enter on both password fields - NOTE if you do this everything is stored unencrypted but you are not constantly pestered for a password to unlock the keyring - up to you.
Now when you enter your SMB credentials in Thunar, et voila, they will be remembered across reboots.
* I restarted the system after creating the new keyring - I don't know if this is strictly necessary.
If somebody far more nerdy than me wants to post the command line method, please do so.

Cheers!

p.s.
In case anyone is wanting to really nerd out, keyring files are located in ~/.local/share/keyrings
There is a command line tool called 'keyctl'.
From the man page :
This command creates a new keyring of the specified name and attaches it to the specified keyring.
keyctl newring <name> <keyring>
e.g. keyctl newring keyring @us 27
I understand what the identifiers are, I understand 'newring' is the name of the intended new keyring (duh) but for the life of me I cannot figure out what to specify for 'keyring' ...
I tried keyctl show, keyctl list @us etc, but it was no help.
