Hi, Jenny. I am going to ask my wife to give me a hand looking at that.
Unfortunately, vista doesn't have "my network places" It looks to me like my
computer name is all in caps and that my music folder has only the M
capitalized.
I'm not sure if it is just some kind of quirk with vista or something I am
doing wrong as I haven't seen any messages on this list from any other vista
users trying to set up network folders from the icon end.
Another person mapped his music drive, but that's all I have seen anyone do
so far.
If you've read my message, you'll see that I have a fix for now. At least if
I am sitting at my computer, I can transfer things to the braille plus with
the shortcut I've created.
Thanks.

You may take a look at your computer's name in the properties. I found that
one of my computer names was in all caps, and the other had the first letter
capped. You might also look in your My Network places at the properties of
a network folder you are trying to access, that will tell you just what to
enter if you are trying to enter the location manually. Only difference,
you'll see backslashes in Windows, use forward slashes instead.
