Here's some help John: ------------------------ Connecting to someone's Public folder using Windows You can open a .Mac member's Public folder to see and copy files. To access someone's Public folder, you need to know the person's member name and Public folder password (if the Public folder is password-protected). To open someone's Public folder: If you're using Windows XP, use iDisk Utility for Windows XP. To download iDisk Utility for Windows XP, go to www.mac.com, and click .Mac Downloads. If you're using Windows 2000, open My Computer, choose Map Network Drive from the Tools menu, then click "Web folder or FTP site." Enter the following as the location to add: http://idisk.mac.com/membername-Public? (where "membername" is the other person's .Mac member name). If a password is required, enter "public" in the User Name field, and then enter the Public folder password in the Password field. If you're using Windows 98, open My Computer, double-click the Web Folders icon, then double-click Add Web Folder. Enter the following as the location to add: http://idisk.mac.com/membername-Public? (where "membername" is the other person's .Mac member name). If a password is required, enter "public" in the User Name field, and then enter the Public folder password in the Password field. ---------------- my username is cottycam Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
