anzo Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yep, he can add them to a shared folder on his computer.Stick a folder on the desktop, Right click, 'Properties', 'Shared Folder'. Tick the box that says 'share this folder' and type in a name for it.On the other computer you need to type \\<computer name>\<document name>I.e. \\MattT\Shared VideoOnce you've found it you can copy the path, go to My Computer, Tools, Map Network Drive and then add it as a drive for a shortcut.Give me a shout if you need anymore help.
