I have PC "B" on a wireless network with PC "A". I used to have shortcuts on the Desktops of each machine so I could access the other's Desktop.

I did a clean install of the OS on PC "B" and now I cannot figure out how to create on "A" a shortcut to "B"'s Desktop.

I'd appreciate someone pointing me to instructions on how to do this.

(Sorry for asking this - I know it's answered somewhere - I just haven't been able to find it after lots of searching.)

Thank you!

On B you would have to Share the Desktop, by right-clicking it in Explorer and going to the Share tab. Then in A, find the share in Explorer and Map it as a network drive. Then you can create a shortcut to it.
