Windows 7 --
Every bit as fucked (maybe more so) as Vista.
"Connect To" function is now buried somewhere in "My Computer" or "Control Panel."
-- No, you CAN'T create a shortcut for it.
I spent an hour in CostCo working on an HP laptop w/ Windows 7. I'll be damned if I could figure out how to set up an Admin. Acct.
(And I'm not at all naive when it comes to OS.)
I think maybe I'll look at a Mac.

Why in the hell would you think a Costco display would let you setup an Admin account?
The damn things are in Demo mode stupid!
As far as a shortcut to the Connect function Make a C++ script to open the socket and place a shortcut on the desktop.
