Hello,

I am the IT admin for a company where an employee is being setup on her
personal laptop with VPN access for our networked files. I am very new to
Vista (first one I've worked with). I can't seem to find where I could go to
map the network drives that she'l need. Her laptop is installed with Vista
Home. Not sure if that would have anything to do with the problem. Any
suggestions??

Christine,

In your start menu, click on computer. Then, in the tools menu (or
displayed right below the address bar) you can select "Map Network Drive."

Hi, it is very simple if you have can se the computer you are trying to
connect to in Network folder. Yest pres the alt key and then you get a menu
like in winxp and then there is map a network drive in pritty much all
folders under funktions.
