 +===== Configuring folders and shortcuts =====
 +
 +You should have most of your files in the two following folders:
 +  * LOCAL HOME FOLDER: ''<​disk:>​\Users\<​your_login>''​
 +    * This is where you keep your work, **not** on the ''​C:''​ system disk/​partition
 +    * This folder is different from your Windows User folder! => ''​C:​\Users\<​your_login>''​
 +      * Documents on your desktop are located in ''​C:​\Users\<​your_login>​\Desktop''​
 +    * Remember to make a backup of this folder regularly!
 +  * SCRATCH FOLDER: ''<​disk:>​\Scratch\<​your_login>''​
 +    * The place where you store your temporary files, installation programs, etc...
 +
 +==== Creating folder shortcuts on the desktop ====
 +
 +=== Local folders ===
 +
 +Use the file explorer to go to your folder inside the ''​Users''​ folder (the ''​Users''​ that is not on the ''​C:''​ disk), click on the small folder icon at the left of the bar displaying the folder location, and drag the icon on the desktop. This will create a shortcut that you can rename //Home Local//
 +
 +Do the same thing to create a //Scratch Local// shortcut on the desktop, pointing to ''​\Scratch\<​your_login>''​
 +
 +=== Folders on the LSCE servers ===
 +
 +When you are on the LSCE network, open the file explorer, copy paste ''​\\dfshost\dfs\home''​ in the location field and press <​Return>​ to display the content of your Linux home directory. Grab the folder icon at the left of the location field, drop it on the desktop and rename it //Home Linux//.
 +
 +Do the same thing with ''​\\dfshost\dfs\scratch01\<​your_login>''​ and create a //Scratch Linux// shortcut
 +
 +<note tip>You can access any LSCE server disk by starting from the ''​\\dfshost\dfs''​ location</​note>​
 +
 +==== Displaying hidden folders ====
 +
 +  - Open the file explorer
 +  - Select File -> Change folders and search options -> Display
 +  - Enable //Display hidden files and folders//
 +  - Unselect //Mask known file types extensions//​
 +  - Save
