How do I create a shortcutt to My Computer..

[Dave F.]

Hi

I've a new removable device. When It's plugged in its path in Explorer
appears to be My Computer\Sansa e280.

I'm trying to create a shortcut under SendTo but it doesn't like the
space between My & Computer.
I've tried putting quotes around it but that doesn't work.

Anyone know of a way around this?

Or a better way of copying music folders to the device?

Cheers

Do this:
R-click the Start button, Properties, Start Menu, Customize, Advanced,
Now r-click on the "Sansa e280" and drag and drop it on SendTo folder,
select Shortcut from the choices.

When the drive is plugged into the usb port, the "send to" menu should
automatically add the drive as a destination option.

Thanks for replying
Unfortunately, it doesn't :-(

Because My Computer is a virtual folder. You cant create a shortcut to it by typing
my computer. If you want to create a shortcut to My Computer then use :
explorer.exe /e,

Anyone know of a way around this?

Use the drive letter of "Sansa e280", e.g. :
F:\

R-click on the Start button
L-click on Properties
L-click on Start Menu
L-click on Customize
L-click on Advanced
Scroll to see the "Sansa e280"
Now r-click on the "Sansa e280" and drag and drop it on SendTo folder
select Shortcut from the choices.

Dave,

Here you go:

<excerpt>

The e200 device should be in MSC mode for the MicroSD to show up as a Removable Device.

Explanation:
The e200 can operated under two different modes, MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode and MSC (Mass Storage Class) mode.

To see the MicroSD card as a Removable Disk, the e200 must be in MSC mode. The following screen shots show how the "My Computer" screen will look when the device is plugged in under each mode.

** Once the drive-letter is assigned, it should automatically be visible in the Send To menu. **
