    Hey guys- We have a Virtual Server hosted with GoDaddy- obviously running Windows 2008 Server. I DO have TS Web Access hooked up- but- we would like for each co-worker to be able to mount a shortcut to a shared folder onto their own machines at home. The shared folder would be hosted on the Server- and the idea is they wouldn't have to login to TS Web Access each time, they could just double click the shortcut and open the folder. How do I achieve this? Thanks

  24. 2009 may have been a downer, but I still feel pretty good about 2010. Part of the reason, oddly enough, is that some of the best trends of 2009 should continue throughout the new year. And that's not all bad. View the full article

    Introduction There are a lot of really cool services out there, and I think a lot of them would fit in really well with Accelerators. But even though there’s a lot of value to be had in creating Accelerators, I don’t think we’ve ever had a blog post explaining a step-by-step process for how to do it. I’m hoping this post will help with that. I’ve been working on the feature for a while, so I’ve come up with some tips and best practices that have helped me become more efficient in building Accelerators. There are also a few mistakes I’ve seen (and made!) over and over again, so I’ll talk about those in the h…
