How do I get shares from other machines to show in the area below "My
Network Places"?

I know I can map a drive from tools, but I only want to keep track of
certain shares I access all the time.

How would I do that?

Thanks,

Tom

Is this a workgroup, peer-to-peer or a domain? NTFS permissions springs to
mind

Why not just put a folder on the Desktop for each of them?

If you're a coder you could create a small folder watcher application which
alerts you of any changes. In >NET it's only a few lines of code

This is a domain.

I would rather have the shares I am connected to showing in my Windows
Explorer window rather than clutter up my desktop.

Thanks,
