You need to get a
UCS account to use the MS Windows computers in the lab. To log in
to a computer in the lab, press Ctrl-Alt-Del then enter your UCS username and
password. To go from one field to another (username to password), press the
Tab key or click in the box with the mouse. Please contact
R. Baker Kearfott for an account with Linux machines (cauchy and wilkinson).
When you first log in to a computer in the lab, the system will automatically create the folder "My Documents" for you. You can create a folder (unlimited quota) in the drive labeled with "users" and then change its property so that it is accessible only to you as "My Documents". Since "users" is a shared drive, you can access your folder from other computers in WIN domain by clicking start => run => "\\machine name".
Please back up your files frequently. There are three ways to do it:
The "Start Menu" is what you see when you press the "Start" button. This is on the taskbar at the lower left corner of the screen. The "Start Menu" is a menu of programs and utilities you can run. Most of the software is in "Start => Programs" and can also be found in the folder “Applications” on the desktop.
We have added the printers in MDD401 (HP LaserJet2300) and in MDD438 (HP LaserJet 4050) to the computers in MDD401 locally. These two printers and XEROX in Stephens Hall are also available through MATHSERV (see HELP).
Whenever possible please print large jobs, e.g., class handouts, exams, etc., by the printer in Stephens Hall. To print multiple copies, you can use the number of copies feature in windows or you may use the following command line method.
