Hello All,

In Win98 networking started on pc level. Computers appeared by name and one
could drop down very efficient.

In XP it starts on shared folder level, in which case I get to search
through over 20 folders on every machine different and apparantly randomly
organised...

I tried to create a shortcut on Workgroup level (in that case I get the
compu's by name again) but it won't work.

Anyone any idea how to organise efficient?

Thanx
Guurt

You can go to view - arrange icons by - computer, and then go view - arrange
icons by - show in groups to group them together.
