    Note: Do not check the box next to the name of the server item.
  5. An icon for the server item you have selected will appear on your desktop. Double-click on the icon to access it.

Logging out

To prevent others from gaining access to private server directories to which your domain account may have access, you should log out of all file servers when you are finished using them or whenever you leave your computer unattended.

To log out of a file server, drag the server icon on your desktop into the trash.

Shutting down your computer will automatically log you out.
