All user files must be stored on the network file server, where your personal files are backed up as part of that service. computing:department:windows Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:56:19 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/home?rev=1228694045 Department Windows workstations can be found in staff and some faculty and student offices, and the student computing labs in Physics 137 and 469. We can also configure Windows systems for use in research labs or other offices - please feel free to discuss your needs with us. computing:department:windows Sun, 07 Dec 2008 17:54:05 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/mail_and_web?rev=1181581515 We recommend Mozilla Thunderbird for email. See our email setup guide for more details on setting up your Physics email account. While other mail programs are available on the Windows computers, Thunderbird is the only one we can offer complete help with. computing:department:windows Mon, 11 Jun 2007 12:05:15 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/networkdrives?rev=1207783953 Windows XP Open My Computer Click the Tools menu and then choose Map Network Drive On the Map Network Drive window, choose the drive the drive letter you would like to map the drive to In the Folder field, type the name of the network share you want to connect to computing:department:windows Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:32:33 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/printing?rev=1228976350 Changing the Default Printer All the major departmental printers are pre-installed on the Physics windows computers. However, the “default printer” is set to “Microsoft Office Document Image Writer”, which print to file, rather than to any real printer, so you will need to set your preferred default printer. computing:department:windows Thu, 11 Dec 2008 00:19:10 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/quota?rev=1181581546 Your Windows profile is the collection of files which stores various settings, such as internet explorer bookmarks, desktop background color, and so on. It also stores any files which you have placed on the desktop. Since the entire profile is copied to and from the server every time you log in or out, Windows limits its size. On our systems, the maximum size is 60Mbytes. If it grows to be larger than this, Windows will not let you log out until you have reduced it below the limit. computing:department:windows Mon, 11 Jun 2007 12:05:46 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/software?rev=1228854147 A fairly wide selection of general-purpose applications are installed on the Windows systems Some applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator have a limited number of network licenses available. The system will only allow a certain number of instances of these to run within the department at the same time. computing:department:windows Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:22:27 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/ssh_and_telnet?rev=1188343768 You can use the program SecureCRT to connect to Unix and Linux systems using SSH. SSH should always be used instead of telnet - in fact most of our servers now have telnet switched off. To run SecureCRT, either double-click on the SecureCRT icon on the desktop, or choose it from the Programs section of the Start Menu. computing:department:windows Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:29:28 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/support_information?rev=1231020162 * At the current time we support only Windows XP. * We will periodically update the system to include all important updates for Windows and major applications. * The main hard drive is dedicated to the operating system and applications - no user data can be stored here. * Your home directory will be stored on the main Physics fileserver and mapped as drive Z: (and also as “My Documents”). * We don't support file sharing from workstations - shared data must be stored on a server. computing:department:windows Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:02:42 -0600 http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/computing/department/windows/xming?rev=1200527901 An X server, Xming, is installed on most of our Windows systems.
