Launching My Network Places opens a new window on the screen. Through this window, you can add, search for, and remotely access these network resources. My Network Places also offers additional functionality not available through Network Neighborhood. Through My Network Places, Windows searches for shared network files , printers, and other resources present on your local network.
For example, use My Network Places to confirm that each computer set up on a home network can see the other computers. To browse the list of available network resources, choose the Entire Network option in the left pane of My Network Places. Then, in the right pane, several options may appear for the kinds of networks available to browse. Choose the Microsoft Windows Network option to browse resources available locally.
Each local computer found in My Network Places is listed under its Windows workgroup name. In home networks, all computers should be set to use the same Windows workgroup , otherwise, they will not be accessible through My Network Places.
The Add a network place option can be found on the left side of the My Network Places control window. Selecting this option starts a Windows wizard that guides you through the steps to define a network resource.
The Add a Network Place wizard allows you to give descriptive names to the resources you add. When the wizard completes its setup, an icon similar to a Windows shortcut icon appears in the resource list. Along with the resources you manually add to My Network Places, Windows sometimes automatically adds other resources to the list. These are places on the local network you frequently access.
The icon representing any network resource can be deleted as if it were a local shortcut. During a delete operation, no action is taken on the resource. The My Network Places task pane contains an option to view network connections. Choosing this option launches the Windows Network Connections window.
This is technically a separate feature from My Network Places. My Network Places finds network resources. It also supports creating descriptively named shortcuts for network resources.
There are Run, Save and Cancel options. After that, I think you will be familiar with Windows 7. Good luck! It will now be displayed in the right pane when you right-click the Orb.
Not quite what I'm looking for. I'd like to drop a snippit in here to show you the panel but if you have access to an xp machine and invoke the My Network Places panel you will see what I'm after. Thanks so much for the response I really appreciate it. So far I'm happy with W7 aside from the few little caveats. One other issue I'm trying to run down is the file type editor under the folder options which is under control panel.
This is something that I need to disable for one of the applications. Any hints as to where I would find this would be very helpful as well. I'm completely lost. But thank you for trying. Once again, I must be taught the solution as if I'm a complete novice.
Thursday, October 1, AM. Right click on a blank spot on your desktop. In the menu that pops up click on New. In the next menu Click on Shortcut.
In the next screen type the address of the FTP server as I specified above but substituting the actual address of the server you want to have a connection to. That's it. You now have a shortcut to an FTP server. Copy or move it wherever you want. If you had followed my earlier directions you would have see the Location box. Thank you. That does help me get files. In XP I had only to open two windows. Then Drag from one to the other. That's my goal here.
At least now I can easily get files from the site. Now to figure out the 2nd part. Friday, October 2, AM. Then you can copy files to or from the site. That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out. Everywhere online was telling me to download IIS7 but there are no downloads for it.
Just ISS 7. I keep seeing FTP folders and such that look to work just like Network Places use to be I can't get it to appear either. And I don't mind one bit. Friday, October 2, PM. You're welcome. This doesn't seem to work at all for WebDav.
