Restoring a saved connection

LapLink again.
• Open the connection file while running LapLink.
NOTE To completely automate the connection process,
create entries in the Address Book for saved connections.
Include the log-in name and password required to open
each connection.
To set up LapLink to restore a saved connection when
you start the program:

tions at Startup.

type it in the Connection File box.

Browse button and locate the drive and folder containing
the file.
TIP Connection files have the .LLC extension. In Win-
dows 95 and Windows 98, as well as Windows ME, they
are stored in the My Documents folder. In Windows NT,
they are stored in the \Profiles\yourname\Personal folder
within the Windows folder (where yourname is your Win-
dows NT logon name).
TIP In WIndows 2000, XP and 2003, they are stored in
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents.
