Right. My laptop arrives tomorrow and I would like to get it setup nicely and efficiently.

My setup is currently and PC with a drive in it which I use for user data. I have changed the registry in Vista to make this be where Documents, Pictures and all those other folders are. I would like to be able to make this drive a network drive, so that I can map it as a network drive on my laptop and change the registry on that to make it my default user data location.

So the question is, how do you make network drives I'm running Vista Ultimate, and not sure how it's done on this...

Right click My Computer and "Map Network Drive" isnt it...i have't used Vista for a while but i thought that part of the context menu hadn't changed. Could be wrong though.

Damn, didn't actually realise how simple it was. I've done it before, but on existing network drives... Easy

All I need now is the ability to setup my own VPN, but Sky will only let me use some crummy Netgear router that doesn't allow you to do so
