[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 505064, member: 13565"] How-to Auto-Mount Network shares: When the share or shares are mounted on the Desktop: 1) Drag the share/s icon/s from the Desktop/Finder Sidebar onto the Menubar of any Finder window 2) When you are disconnected from the network the icon will change to[SIZE="4"] ?[/SIZE] [INDENT]Don't worry about this as it just tells you the Share is no longer mounted.[/INDENT] 3) When the Network connection is active again, click the [SIZE="4"]?[/SIZE] to auto-mount the share I prefer this method as I previously used the [I]"Add To Log-In Items"[/I] way but didn't like the extra login time, or way the Share was always launched in a new Finder window ... this was too distracting for me. So, besides adding items to the Finder Sidebar, you can also add them to the Finder Menubar ... to reposition an item in the Finder Menubar just press and hold Command as you move the icon either left or right along the menu or you can remove it this way too ... it'll disappear in a *puff* of virtual smoke. :D # [ATTACH=full]6948[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
