Select My Network Places

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Why do I not have anything showing when I select My Network Places in
Windows Explorer? There are drop downs for Microsoft Terminal Serrvices;
Microsoft Windows Network; Web Client Network. The first of these I do not
use. The scond has my domain controller and the rest of the machines on the
Network. The last throws error when choosing Properties. But in any case
there is nothing shown on the ride-hand side when I select My Network
Places.

For example I cannot make a New Network Place and so therefore cannot set a
connection to a drive on another computer on the Network in this location
such as:

//Machine1/c$

Has this functionality been removed from Windows XP Pro? Thanks.

For starters try \\Machine1\c$ it makes a difference.

That didn't answer my question. Thanks anyway. I can not even type it in
wrong for there is nothing to allow me to do that. The right-hand pane is
completely empty when I select My Network Places in Windows Explorer. Has
this functionality been removed from Windows XP?

Well it turns out Windows XP has the functionality it is just not as easy to
get to as it was in Windows 2000. Here is the article that discusses it:
