if you just want icons to appear then i would place the network shortcuts in a folder like mydocuments/networkworksho<wbr />rtcuts... then for each shortcut in that folder, right click it and select &quot;send to desktop&quot;... essentially creating a shortcut to a shortcut...<br />
<br />
but it should keep a placeholder (so to speak) on your desktop... is that what you're after i take it?...

Under Folder Options I think you need to uncheck &quot;Hide empty connections&quot;. You do this through Windows Explorer-&gt;Organize-&gt;Folder<wbr /> Options-&gt;View
