  2. Right click in an empty space, choose ‘Add a network location’.
  3. Step through the wizard, select "Choose a custom network location" and click Next.
  4. When you get to the part asking for a network address, open your SkyDrive site by web browser(Firefox, IE, ...).

  8. Finish the wizard, and enter a name for your SkyDrive location.
