Saving Files
It is important to know how to save files properly when you are working in a General Access Lab. Oftentimes you will be saving to the H: drive, which is a private storage area for your files on the student server. You may also save to a CD-ROM (usually the D: drive) or USB removable storage (usually the E: drive) drive for easy storage and portability. For more information on mapping to drives, refer to Connecting to Network Drives.
NOTES:
Not all computers will have these options.
Save frequently to several sources to avoid data loss.
