Lab Computers: Using the local C drive for working on files
- Working on very large files directly from the H and G drives can be slow and may lead to file corruption or program crashes.
- Each lab computer has a folder on the C drive called Student (C:\Student), which is specific to that computer.
- Consider copying your files C:\Student and work on them from there. File operations such as opening and saving will usually be faster.
- When you are done working, copy your files from the Student folder back to your Documents/H drive.
- Remember not to leave files on the C drive when you are done, as there is no guarantee that they will be there the next time you login.
