Hi,
Its a long time since I did this & I have forgotten how.
I want to create an exe file on my desktop which when clicked will connect me to my nas drive.
I reinstalled Puppy but forgot to back up this file, all I can remember about creating the original was part of the script line which was something like "pnethood 192.168.xxx.xxx"

I know this is a very simple thing to do, & about 99.9% of people using this forum will be able to help.

Thanks

Rob

Rob, something like this?

Hi again Semme
Ive still not learned much about Puppy. I just use all its default features, but mainly use it for surfing.
""Just in case it's useful to someone else, I made a file containing the pnethood 192.168.1.73 commandline, made it executable, dragged the resulting file onto the desktop as a shortcut, and changed the icon to the Pnethood one. This way I can click on the fake Pnethood icon, and it opens up with the IP address instead of the name of the Popcorn samba share.""

Yes this is exactly what I want, but how do I do it?
Step by step please.

Thanks

Rob

Rt-clk inside any folder > new > script > name it > create. Now open'n paste your addy.

Make sure there's an empty line on the end like in my screenie, then drag to your dt.

Hi. didnt see the script at the bottom of your last post.
Sorted.
Again, Thanks a lot,

[Semme]

OK, good. For the icon search your system for: pc-2x.xpm

I have to do it this way cos if I use pnethood on its own, it doesnt find any shares on my nas, but run from a script it does.
Strange or what????

Nah, not necessarily. Many times scripts are more straightforward. Xbindkeys however RULE!
