Hi folks,
at work I have windows xp installed. I often have to send a link to a
document that is stored on a network share. To do this, I
1) generate a link in the target directory by right clicking on the file
2) open the link's properties
3) copy the link address in the email message,
e.g. "M:\important\document\file.txt"
4) remove the leading drive letter, e.g. "\important\document\file.txt"
5) select the network share with right click, rename
6) copy the name of the share without editing
7) paste the name into the email,
"freigabe auf \\server\folder\ \important\document\file.txt"
8) and reorder the absolut path and the name of the share:
"<\\server\folder\freigabe\important\document\file.txt>"
9) finally send the email
There must be a smarter way! I already tried to create a folder on the
desktop with absolut links to all needed network shares; this allows me to
open the share with absolut path and skip the renameing. What I want is a
way to rigth-click on the file, create a link, copy it into my mail and
just send it without the annoying drive letter, just the absolut path.
Any hints?
Thank,
Martin
