Saving your computer files from lab:
We strongly recommend either of two means of storing your lab files. (1) The most useful means is a portable USB thumb drive that you can carry with you all the time. They're cheap and hold huge amounts of information. (2) The Paris virtual drive: Whenever you use any computer on campus, you are connected to a "virtual" hard drive called Paris. To log onto Paris from a PC, from the start menu click on Run. In the Run prompt box type \\Paris\your username\. You can also access Paris via the My Network Places. Many lab computers already have a desktop icon for Paris. This should bring up a folder with your user name on it. Paris should only be used to store completed documents at the end of a work session; DO NOT to use it as an interactive, working drive.
