Creating a shortcut to the network drive
To be able to access the shared directory on the PG/PC from the PCU, after you have
connected and configured the PG/PC in the network, you must set up the folder shared on
the PG/PC on the PCU as a network drive.
As soon as it has been set up, a new drive will appear on the PCU, which is really a directory
on the PG/PC.
The basic procedure for setup under Windows 7 and Windows XP is described below.
Detailed information from Microsoft is provided in Windows under "Help and Support" or in
