    Information When you add a network location, you are creating a shortcut in This PC to an Internet storage location, such as a website or FTP site. A network location has the following characteristics:
    • A drive letter is not assigned to it.
    • It can point to either external resources found on the Internet and to resources found in your network/intranet.
    • You need the user name and password credentials to connect to it if not allowed to log on anonymously.
    This tutorial will show you how to add a network location to This PC for your account in Windows 10.

    add a network location windows 10

    Hi Erich,

    Adding a network place in Windows allows you to access FTP, Windows file shares, and some HTTP servers directly in My Network Places, without having to use an FTP client.
    To assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages when you tried adding a network location?
    • Are you trying to add a network location or map a network drive?

    Meanwhile, if you're adding a network location, we suggest that you follow these steps below about adding a network location:

    • Open This PC in File Explorer, click on the Computer tab, click on the
      Add a network location button in the ribbon.
    • Click on Next in the Add Network Location wizard.
    • Click on Choose a custom network location, and click on
      Next
      .
    • Type the address of the website, FTP site, or network location you want to add, and click on
      Next.
    • If you are allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, click on
      Next
      .
    • Type a name you want for this network location in This PC, and click on
      Next
      .
    • If you are not allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, then uncheck the
      Log on anonymously box, enter the user name for the network location, and click on
      Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • If you could not log on anonymously to this network location, you will see a
      Log On As
      dialog prompting you to enter the user name and password for this network location. Check the
      Save password box if you do not want to be required to type the user name and password every time you access this network location. Click on
      Log On when finished.
    • The network location will now open.

    If you're mapping a network, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article
    on how to map a network drive.

    Let us know if you need additional help.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Tweaking Save Menu to show "Network" as a save location?

    You may be able to "map" the network address, be sure to map to the Drive Root or top of the tree of any area you wish to access. A mapped network location shows in the File Explorer as a local Drive letter, that you select, so should work with your application.

  6. Changing Network Location on Windows 10

    Hi Bruce,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    In order to connect or join Homegroup your connection should be set in public network. Make sure the network discovery is turned ON.

    Go to Control Panel> All control panel items> Network and sharing center> Advanced Sharing settings to turn ON Network Discovery.

    I suggest you to once run the in-built Network troubleshooter by following the steps below.


    • Type “troubleshooting” in the search box and press Enter.

    • Click on “View all” on the top left corner.

    • Click on “Network Adapter” and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.
    Hope the information is helpful.
