Mapping Network Drive


Recommended Posts

At work I use my macbook to connect to the office's server which is running windows server 2003. I know how to connect to the server but its annoying having to click go and then connect to server and then connect to it. Is there any way so to map the drive so it stays as an icon on my desktop?

Go to your finder preferences and make sure under the "Show these items on the desktop" section, "Connected Servers" is checked (IIRC, it's not by default.)

Edit: On second thought, this will only display the drive/share when connected; it's not going to show up when it's not connected. Maybe create an alias for the location?
