If your computer is missing the shortcuts to AR, you can get to it by simply typing the server name in the address field. If you’re at Sowers or the high school, the server you need is Mayhem. If you’re at the junior high, you’re looking for Chaos. Then simply make it a favorite in Internet Explorer or create a shortcut on your desktop for later access.

To create a desktop shortcut without opening Internet Explorer, perform the following steps:

1. Right-click anywhere on your desktop
2. Click New, then Shortcut
3. In the new window, type in http://servername (i.e., http://mayhem or http://chaos) and click next
4. Type in a name for the shortcut — Accelerated Reader is what I always use — and click Finish

You should now see the shortcut on your desktop.

Enjoy!
