Mapped Drive Storage disappears from Thunar?

I'm helping someone out by adding new options to their office network and putting Crunch Bang on older computers that had mostly been sitting around either from being corrupted or because a previous employee poked at the registry to much.

My main question has to do with beatup computer I made into a Network Attached Storage.  The windows computer can see it so I mapped it as Drive V:  in the File Manager. 

On the CrunchBang computer in Thunar I go to the shared NAS folder and drag it to the left so it's easy to find.  Unfortunately, if the NAS computer turns off or reboots, this shortcut folder under favorites disappears.  This isn't a big deal to me, but I'm trying to make these things user friendly for other people not used to Linux. 

I'm wondering if I need to try something else like Nautilus, but another thread I found here suggested that may take over the desktop and cause more problems. 

Also, to make this more user friendly, I added Cairo-Dock to so the user would have clickable Icons.  If Cairo Dock could somehow have a permanent shortcut to open the shared folder maybe that would work?
