I been using a MyBookWorld for a few years now without any problems. Today I set up a new pc using Windows 8 and I located the WD drive on my network, right clicked it to create a shortcut on my desktop. This was okay but when I then click on the shortcut icon I get the WD Login page. On my old pc when I clicked on the icon I would get “CONFIGURATION” “PUBLIC” and “DOWNLOAD”. I could then go into the folders/files directly. What do I need to do to get access to my files? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the Network section your NAS should be there and should grant you access.

Thanks. I was fiddling around and right clicked the shortcut. I could then access the files by either clicking “View Device Webpage” or “Open”. I then created another shortcut to the “Public” folder, which is where all my stuff is. Interestingly, I would have thought that by clicking the Device Webpage it would lead me to the WD Login page. Anyway, all sorted and thanks again.
