My Network Places displays shortcuts to shared computers, printers, and other resources on the network. The shortcuts are created automatically in My Network Places whenever you open a shared network resource, such as a printer or shared folder.
The My Network Places folder also contains hyperlinks to tasks and locations on your computer. These links can help you view your network connections, add shortcuts to network places, and view computers in your network domain or in your workgroup
We are pleased to inform you about Graphic Design Colleges.
Click the Add a network place task to start the Add Network Place Wizard. This wizard helps you to create new shortcuts to shared folders and resources on your network, Web, and FTP servers. If you don’t have folders on a Web server already, the Add Network Place Wizard will help you create a new folder for storing your files online.
You can view, manage, move, copy, save, and rename the files and folders you have stored on a Web server just as you would files and folders stored on your computer. When you view the contents of a folder that is stored on the Web, the folder’s Internet address is displayed in the Address bar.
