How to make shortcuts to FTP sites

> Hi Jorgen,
>
> Changes in Internet Explorer (IE) have made it so standard FTP url shortcuts

> Network Location (and then drag it to your desktop if you want).

> Here's the basic steps.
>
> 1. Open computer.
> 2. Right-click anywhere in the folder, and then click Add a Network
> Location.
> 3. In the wizard, select "Choose a custom network location", click next.
> 4. Enter the name of the FTP site, with the full FTP:// in front of it, and
> click next.
> 5. Uncheck "Log on anonymously", and enter a user name. Click next.
> 6. If you want to open the site when you close, just click next, or clear
> the "Open this network location." checkbox. Click Finish.
> When the site opens, you'll be prompted for a password if it's the first
> time you connect. Otherwise, it'll just go in. In Computer, under Network
> Locations, you'll see a shortcut for the site, which you can drag to your
> desktop for convenience.
