If you frequently access the share drive you may want to create an alias (shortcut). This way you won't have to map the drive every time. To do so, access the share drive. Right click on the icon on your desktop. Select
Make Alias
from the drop down menu.
You will notice a duplicate icon has been created with an arrow - this is your shortcut.
Right-click on the
original share drive, (not the shortcut)
and select
Eject
from the drop down menu.
Once the drive has been ejected, note that the shortcut is still on your desktop. Now you can click on it any time you need to access the share drive and input your credentials to get to the appropriate share.
