    Newby Quest:

    We have a few machines networked up, instead of giong to "connect to server and browsing for the user, is there a way u can setup a shortcut on the desktop leading to the persons drive, and whenever their machine is on all you have to do is click on your shortcut.

    Yes, there is: once you have a connection, simply ctrl+click the desired folder or volume and make an alias. Move the alias to the desktop or the finder bar and you don't need to connect to server -> browse...

    By the way, same like the previous thread: wrong forum
    iBook 600; 12''; 640mb; 8mb Rage; DVD-CDRW-Combo, 20GB
    P4 1.6; 2x80GB Raid1 (file-server)
    tiBook 1Ghz, Superdrive, 768MB, 64mb 9000, 60GB

    This alias trick is great. Tried it, works, and am using it daily.

    Create a folder on your drive and put the aliases in that and drag the folder to your Dock. Then Control or Right click the folder to mount the drive you want.

    This works really well. I'm the only Mac on a M$ Windoze network and it works like a charm. Follow bob's advice. It's killer!
    G4 450: OS X 10.3.5
    iMac 800/15"LCD: OS X 10.3.5
    PC: HP/M$ Winbloze

    Mac user since '84!

    Windoze users outnumber Mac users? Cock roaches outnumber humans by a magnitude of hundreds of thousands to one; that does not make them a higher form of life.
