Faster access to your partitions
« on: September 12, 2009, 03:38:14 PM »
Often access your partitions and clicking on My computer is not fast enough to open them.
Try to create a shortcut to your media.

system:/media

It's much faster than clicking on My computer.  :)

"media:/" should work too

these are called "kio" slaves

you can go to "media" directly with "media:/"

or indirectly through "system" kio with "system:/media"

I meant shortcuts like "media:/" or "system:/media" are opening aprox 50% faster than clicking on My Computer icon on desktop.
I personally access my partitions very often and figured out that this little trick speeds up my work. Not a big deal but wanted to share it because I found it useful.  ;D
