ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for automatically creating a desktop icon for access to a remote resource. A text drop event in a desktop area of a user interface is identified, and the associated dropped text is analyzed. It is determined whether the dropped text is a recognized format for a path name to a remote resource. If the dropped text is a recognized format, a desktop icon is created for access to the remote resource based upon the recognized format and the dropped text.
