Top 6 Suggestions for Using XP Lab Computers

If this is the first time you have used our labs take a moment and remember these items to enhance your LAB experience.

6 - You can change your default Web Browser

You can change your default Web Browser and EMail client by customizing the Properties of the Start menu.

5 - Save all documents to your My Documents folder

When you first logon, User Setup executes and maps your My Documents folder to a network file service. 

4 - Don't save documents on your desktop

The Desktop is part of your profile. Put shortcuts not files on the desktop.

3 - Use Clear User Data to clear space in your profile

If your profile becomes larger than allowed, use Clear User Data to remove application data.  Do not erase the Microsoft application directory.

2- You can change default file save options in Office Word 2007

From the Office button, select Word Options, Save tab, and select format (maybe Word 2003) document from the Save files in this format pulldown list.

1 - Logoff

Do not leave your machine unattended and be sure to logoff; otherwise others could pose as you.
