Hi, I often use the built in Snow Leopard 'Screen Sharing' facility, and I do this by using 'Connect to Server in the 'Go' menu of the Finder, and entering the IP. While this is okay, I think it'd be pretty cool if I could put a shortcut direct to a certain machine - so I could have multiple shortcuts on my desktop, such as 'My PC" etc which would be a link to my PC (i.e: vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

You can drag the screen sharing app from the /applications/utilities folder to your dock. You can now click on it and get a list of recent connections to choose from.
