Hints for using the PCs with Windows 7

Windows7 partition C: is protected by “PC-Sheriff” in “daily mode”. That means that C: has a default layout which will be used

• if you tell “PC-Sheriff” to restore modifications (see below)
• if the PC is booted on an other day than the day of the last reboot or modification restore

If you want to keep changes for example because you installed a program which requires a reboot, reboot it also once before you install the program. Rebooting the PC a day after the installation will remove your program and start with the default layout of C: again. If you change something on partition C: it is kept as long as you do not reboot the PC. Your profile data, although also located on C: , will be preserved, because during logout they are copied to the server. During login, they are copied from the server to the local PC.

Important: On the PCs every user has the local administrator role. Therefore, you have access to all data locally available including those of other users. If you leave the PC and do not want that others have access to your local data you should restore modifications .

Drive D: is not protected. Data on D: will stay there until someone deletes them.

The fileserver “fsclassroom” has the IP 134.102.241.56, i.e. you can use

\\134.102.241.56\profiles or  \\134.102.241.56\user  to access your data.

When you have been working on those PCs using Windows2000 before, a new server based profile will be created:

\\fsclassroom\profiles\<accountname>.V2

You can find and copy data from your old profile, which is located at

\\fsclassroom\profiles\<accountname>

where <accountname> is the name you use to log in.

Internet Explorer:

Use Explorer to see the files within

\\fsclassroom\profiles\<accountname>\Favoriten  (the name "Favoriten" might be language dependent)

Select the file(s) you want and copy them to

C:\users\<accountname>\Favoriten

From Seamonkey:

You need access to a “hidden folder”:
Open Explorer – in the upper left: Organize - Folder and search options - View: Hidden files and folders: show “Show hidden files”: activate (temporarily for this operation).

Start Firefox: Bookmarks - Organize Bookmarks - Import and Backup - Import HTML - From HTML file:

\\fsclassroom\profiles\<accountname>\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\qthesmer.default (or similar)  \bookmarks.html

Start Seamonkey: Bookmarks - Manage Bookmarks - Tools - Import - Import from File:

\\fsclassroom\profiles\<accountname>\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\qthesmer.default (or similar)  \bookmarks.html

Especially for using larger amounts of data: Install a server located “Drive Z:” for \\fsclassroom\user\<accountname>)

Remark: Please check first to see if Z: already exists

 Start Explorer ( START - right pane: Computer)
 (Eventually only once:). In the lower left pane: Select "Network"
 You might get a remark in the upper part: "Network discovery and file sharing are turned off ..."
 Click the remark   "Turn on Network discovery and file sharing"
     

In the upper part of the Explorer window: “Map network drive”

Drive:  Z:
Folder: \\fsclassroom\user\<accountname>  (or select via "Browse")
Select "reconnect at login" if you want.
Finish

Replace “DOZENT” by “fsclassroom” in the following out-dated image:

Start- Devices and Printers:

Start  - Control Panel - Clock, Language and Region:
Choose display language

Start - Microsoft Office - Microsoft Office Tools - Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings:

Reboot the system. If the screen goes black and displays white letters (Marvell …) press button F9 several times. A window “Passworteingabe” appears. Press <ENTER> key. “Bitte warten” is displayed. The system will reset and all changes are gone.
