Adding shortcuts to your Network Neighborhood folder in Windows NT

If you find that you frequently access computers that aren't in your domain or workgroup, you can add shortcuts to those computers in your Network Neighborhood folder.

Windows NT displays only the computers in your domain or workgroup in the top-level of the Network Neighborhood.

To add a shortcut to another computer to your Network Neighborhood, begin by double-clicking on the Network Neighborhood icon on your desktop to open the folder.

Next, from the Start menu, choose Find | Computer.

In the Named text box, type the name of the computer you want to create a shortcut, then click Find Now.

When you see the computer name, right-click and drag it to your Network Neighborhood folder.

From the shortcut menu, choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.

You'll now have a shortcut to that computer in your top-level Network Neighborhood folder--even if the computer is in a different domain or workgroup.
