    Shortcut to Broadband Connection (BTYahoo)

    Its lightyears since ive had to connect via a shortcut... however I need to create one to connect to BT Yahoo for my colleague.

    He originally had the full AOL Style gubbins installed by the BT disc. I promptly uninstalled it and told him how to connect (open ie, click connect)

    But thats not good enough, he wants a shortcut on the desktop. So i said -DONT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REINSTALL THE BT PACKAGE- i will create a shortcut for you. but ive forgot how

    even worse, is that i need to create this shortcut here, and email it to him so it will work on his pc...

    any ideas?

    Without setting up the connection first on his PC I don't really see how you could do this Vini - you'd need to run the the New Network Connection wizard with him.

    I was thinknig that... the connection is setup. He can connect... I presume, therefore it should be visible in My Network Places... ill advise on this, if its not there, he'll have to bring it back in.
