Hey everyone. I have a quick question. I got samba running fairly well. To mount the share in Suse 8.0, I open up the shell, and type in:

smbmount //BasementComp/C /mnt/BasementComp

Thats all easy and crap. I want it more simple.

Since I have dual booting on this computer, I found how to make it so that I can access my FAT32 XP partition in linux. Is there a similar way I could get this to work, for me to access that windows share from the desktop in a similar mannor?

I don't need it to mount on the bootup, just when I click on it, it should be mounted. Whatever is easiest. Typing that command in is becoming a pain, and I still don't have a shortcut on my desktop! Can somone point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot everyone!

Hehehe, I'm getting a hang of linux! :-D

I found out how to fix the problem on my own, and it was quite an interesting solution, which required many steps.....

Thanks again everyone!
