2.11 StartMy Network Places

In previous versions of Windows, a My Network Places icon used
to appear on everybody's desktop. Of course, for the millions of
non-networked PC users in their home offices and bedrooms, it never
made much sense. In Windows XP Professional, in fact, My Network
Places appears only when your PC joins a networkand then only
in the Start menu. (You can also put its icon on the desktop yourself,
as described in Section 9.7.3.1.)

In any case, once it's there, choosing this command opens the My Network Places window, which displays icons for the computer, disks and folders other people on the office network have made available for rummaging. (Much more on this topic in Chapter 20.)
