Computer Tips

All students are required to sign an "Acceptable Use Policy" sheet in order to access the school network and internet. Students in violation of this policy will have their computer privileges revoked immediately regardless of registration in computer courses.

Everyone has a LOGIN I.D. on the network, whether you are taking a computer course right now, or not. The login i.d. consists of: your 1st 3 initials of last name, immediately followed by 1st 3 initials of first name. (ie. chrjea for Jean Chretien)

Keep your Password private: See one of the computer teachers if you have problems with your password.

Always check your disk(s) for viruses! Doubleclick on Yellow C icon, in bottom right corner of computer screen. Tell a computer teacher (and your own teacher) when/what you found.

- Turn off monitor only. Logout completely at end of the day.

Internet Use

Check out the announcements and information sheets in the labs about using the Internet. It is a privilege, use it properly. Practice "netiquette".

Save your work frequently! Always try to save your work on your floppy disk in drive A: The network disk to temporarily save larger files is U:. Do not save files to C:

How To Delete Unwanted Files:

Always verify that your printer is correct.

Check under your Print Setup box in your program (ie. WordPerfect) and be sure that the printer name in the box is identical to the actual printer your computer is connected to! Most common printer in the building right now is HP69xC DeskJet.

Follow Appropriate Use Policy at all times.
