To add a shortcut, you can use either of the following techniques:

1. Right-Click anywhere on your desktop (that is not occupied by a shortcut already) > New > Shortcut
2. Provide the location of the item you want to create a shortcut to, or Browse your computer or the network.  You can create a shortcut to just about anything you want:
3. The shortcut will be placed on your desktop.  You can move it to any location you want.

OR:

1. Find the object you want to create a shortcut to using Windows Explore, My Computer, or the Start menu.
2. Once you've found the object, right-click it and select Create Shortcut.
3. The shortcut will be added to the folder you are currently in or it will be placed on your desktop.  You can move it to any location you desire.

Adding Printers

You can add printers from the EECS domain and printers that are local.  For instance, if you reside in 1167 Etcheverry, you'll probably want to have access to the Apple LaserWriter, the HP InkJet, and the plotter in Cory 420 (the plotter in the Microlab used for IAB posters).

To add a printer on the EECS domain:

1. Click Start > Settings > Printers
2. Double-click Add Printer
3. Click Next, check Network Printer, click Next
4. Check "Find a printer in the Directory" & click Next
5. Type in the name or location of the printer you want to add to your system.  If you don't know the name, choose a computer from the list on: http://www-bsac.eecs.berkeley.edu/sysadmin/Printing/w2k/
6. Double-click the computer found under that name/location
7. Choose whether you want it as the default and click Next
8. Click Next again
9. The printer should now be available to your applications for printing

To add a printer that is not on the EECS domain:

1. Double-click My Network Places
2. Double-click Entire Network
3. Click either Search for printers or Search for computers.  That is, either search for the printer directly, or search for the computer to which it is connected.  You won't find the printer unless it is network-enabled (i.e., has it's own IP address).  For instance, the Apple LaserWriter has it's own IP address.  The HP does not.  To access the HP, you must first find the computer it is hooked up to (currently, troymcclure.me.berkeley.edu). It is often easier to find the computer and not the printer.
4. Once you find the computer, double click the computer.
5. Double-click the printer
6. Windows will ask you if you want to set the printer up; click Yes
7. The printer should now be available to your applications for printing

To add the Freezer in 5109 Etcheverry:

1. Download a copy of the printer driver from
   \\Project\PISANO-PROJECT\projects\BMAD-General\Printer_drivers\clj4600pcl6win2kxp2003-en.exe
2. Open and extract the contents of the driver file to your local hard drive
3. Go to the start menu > settings -> printers and faxes and add a printer
4. Select networked printer. Hit next.
5. Select URL (third radio button) and enter in http://mga.me.berkeley.edu. Hit Next.
6. Now it will prompt you for the driver. Click “have disk.”
7. Enter the location that you saved it (default location: C:\clj4600pcl6win2kxp ). Hit OK.
8. You may want to set it as your default. Decide and then hit Next, then Finished
9. You now need to configure it. Right click on new printer and select properties.
10. Under the configure tab make sure that the printer model is 4600DN.
11. Now you are good to go (you may want to click the general tab and under Printing preferences, set up double siding, color, etc.)
12. You must be on the local networks for 1167, 5101 or 5109 to access this printer
