Connecting To File Spaces From Windows
- Go to the start button, then right click your machine name (on the right side of the panel, usually under “Music”, which may look like "Computer", "hist-1234abc", or "js-uniqname"), and click on Map Network Drive.
- From the Drive pull down menu, select the letter you would like to use. Select S: for your department space and H: for your personal space, unless they are already in use, etc.
- In the Folder field, enter the path for each drive. Path information can be found in the "Additional Notes" section.
- Make sure Reconnect at logon is checked and click Finish.
- Your mapped drives will then show up in Windows Explorer (double-click the computer icon on the desktop).
- If you’re prompted for username and password, enter your uniqname preceded by
umroot\, For example, umroot\johnsmith. Use your Kerberos password.
- To place a shortcut on your desktop, right click the icon for the drive and choose Create shortcut. Windows will automatically place the shortcut on your desktop.
