Re: making remote disks permanent
Hi... Not quite 'permanent', but: Go through the logging in process, then create an alias to his home directory and leave it somewhere accessible. Then just double click it to connect. Also elect to store the password in the keychain when logging on. Have fun, Shay Hugh Griffiths wrote: Is there an easy way to have a cross mounted disk appear always on the desktop.

Re: making remote disks permanent
easiest way is to drag it (the remote home folder) to the dock - note that it has to go between the trash can and the dock divider.
