I suggest you write the new pass word down and have the Principal keep it in a safe with budget or other important papers.

You will need to use the pass word regularly to update system software and install anything on the computers.

Good Luck,

Students move folders around on the network

by Bob H

Oct 18, 2011

The School Lab has winxp pro, and a network where students accidentally move folders around. Student log on as student, not with a personal ID or password. I constantly find a folder slid in another classes folder even between grade levels. Is there a way to anchor these folders so they cannot move?
