Hello All, I have a Western Digital Hard Drive that I pulled out of a laptop because there was no bootable device found. Not too worried about that part of it. The owner of the now dead laptop would like to try and get the photos off of the HD. Just so happens that I have this Amazon.com: Vantec CB-ISATAU2 SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter Supports 2.5-Inch, 3.5-Inch, 5.25-Inch Hard Disk Drives (Black): Electronics . Which works like a champ, and has been used before. My problem now is that I am trying to use it now, and look at the hard drive, but the computer I'm plugging it into is not recognizing that it is plugged in. It see's the adapter, and when you go into BIOS it recognizes there is a usb mass storage device, but it is not popping up in my computer... any ideas? Thanks

Which program are they trying to save from? Each program can be modified to default to a certain folder

Have you tried resetting IE to factor defaults?

Use something similar to this, just with your server name and files net use T: [url="file://\\SERVER1\FOLDERA"]\\SERVER1\FOLDERA[/url] /PERSISTENT:YES net use F: [url="file://\\SERVER2\FOLDERB"]\\SERVER2\FOLDERB[/url] /PERSISTENT:YES net use O: [url="file://\\SERVER3\FOLDERC"]\\SERVER3\FOLDERC[/url] /PERSISTENT:YES And then for the Printers START [url="file://\\SERVER1\PRINTER1"]\\SERVER1\PRINTER1[/url] START [url="file://\\SERVER1\PRINTER2"]\\SERVER1\PRINTER2[/url] We usually drop this in the startup file, that way no matter what it will map these whenever the computer is turned on. Hope it helps Andrew

very good point... in which case you could just modify the original code to save it in \startup instead of \Favorites, and save a step. We did it this way and saved it on a public network drive, then just sent everyone a link to the file and it auto installed it. Very simple.

I had to do something very similar to this at work, and I took it in a two step approach. First I used a batch file to add the link to everyone's favorites. echo [internetShortcut] >"%userprofile%\favorites\smartmoneycommunity.url" echo URL=http://www.smartmoneycommunity.org/ >>"%userprofile%\favorites\smartmoneycommunity.url" echo IconFile=e:\Backups\smartmoneycommunity.ico >>"%userprofile%\favorites\smartmoneycommunity.url" echo IconIndex=0 >>"%userprofile%\favorites\smartmoneycommunity.url" After that, I simply wrote a script to launch that link, and then added it to the startup folder, so it runs as soon as the computer is turned on. start %userprofile%\Favorites\smartmoneycommunity.url Hope this helps!
