Folder Shortcuts

I am trying to find out how to make a folder shortcut in either mycomputer
or my network places. A way to go into the web folder and view the files in
there.

I did this ounce before but can't figure out how to do it again.

Thanks
Chuck

Re: Folder Shortcuts

Hi Chuck,

Are you trying to create a shortcut to a url or a location on a network? If
so, you can do this by following these steps:

1. Click the Start button, and then click Computer.
2. Right-click anywhere in the folder, and then click Add a Network
Location.
3. Click Next.
4. Click Choose a custom network location, and then click Next.
5. Follow the steps in the wizard.

I hope this helps.

Charlene

Re: Folder Shortcuts

I did that already, it says that the folder ins't valid and then stops. I am
trying to get a shortcut to a website on my network. I had them before, but
now it doesn't work. So not sure whats up. I can get into it through Web
Expressions, so not sure.
