| + | ===== 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 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Checking power settings and activating hibernation ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Go to the Power panel: ''Win''+''I'' => //System// => //Power and sleep// | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Check/choose when the screen and PC should go to sleep | ||
| + | * Go to //Additional power settings// => //Choose what the power button does// => //Change settings that are currently unavailable// | ||
| + | * Select when the computer should sleep, hibernate or shutdown | ||
| + | * If you have a laptop, it's really useful to enable //Hibernation// when you press the //Sleep// button of the laptop | ||
