Thanks in advance. Yes you can, it's easy.
Just right click on your desktop->New->Shortcut.
When it asks you where the shortcut should link to type <Drive Letter>:/ (eg D:/).

Highlight the drive in Computer, then right click and "Create shortcut". That works in Vista - not certain though about Windows 7 because I do not currently have a running Windows 7 system to check it out. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops
