R-click on the networked drive icon and pick properties.

Did you get this to work because when I use windows desktop search it does not search network drives. I always have to use search companion.

Desk top search isn't part of Windows XP, and since I don't use it, no idea. JC Creque wrote: > Did you get this to work because when I use windows desktop search it does > not search network drives.

If you map the Drive, Windows desktop search can then be used to search if you set that mapped drives in the search options. This is not reccomended if you have several users using that drive as it can increase network traffic and occasionally cause files to switch to read only on users. -- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
