The student's computer, with its monitor and keyboard located on the student's desk, is an IBM-compatible computer. This computer is equipped to run Windows 95.
		Only the monitor, keyboard and mouse are located on the student's desk in the AT&T and IBM-TQ Teaching Theater. The actual system unit (case with the disk drives) for the student's computer is located in the computer room in the AT&T Teaching Theater and the A/V room in the IBM-TQ. Its floppy disk drives are not accessible. In the OIT Teaching Theater the system unit is located on the desk.
		Every student has a login id that starts with the instructor's initials and is followed by a number. Each password will initially be "changeme". You should change the password the first time you login. See below for instructions on how to change the password. The first time you log in, you will be prompted to change your password.
		In order to gain access to the Teaching Theater applications and file server, you must first log into the TTCLASS file server.
		2.3.1	The Windows Login
			When you sit down at a computer in a Teaching Theater in the Windows environment, you will see the following dialog window:
		Type in your login id in the box labeled Username: and then press the < Tab > key.
		Type in your password in the box labeled Password: and then click the < OK > button.
			NOTE     As you type in your password, asterisks (*) will appear.
		2.3.2	The Macintosh Login
			When logging into the Macintosh environment in the OIT Teaching Theater, you must first double click the Applications folder on the desktop.
			This will bring up the login dialog window below.
		Type in your login id in the box labeled Name: and then press the < Tab > key.
		Type in your password in the box labeled Password: and then click the < Log In > button.
			NOTE     As you type in your password, asterisks (*) will appear.
		When you are finished using the Teaching Theater network, you need to remember to log out or else you leave your account and files open to the next user.
		2.3.1	The Windows Logout
		To logout of the Windows environment, click the Start button in the lower left hand corner of the screen and select Shut Down... from the menu that pops up. The dialog box on the following page appears.
			Click on Close all programs and log on as a different user? and click the Yes button.
		2.3.2	The Macintosh Logout

		2.5.1	WINDOWS
			There is also a Windows program which will change your password. Look for the icon which looks like a toolbox located in the Classroom Tools folder. It should say SetPass underneath it (see below).
		Double click on it. You will get something similar to the picture below.

		Click on the box next to the word Old: and type in your old password.

			NOTE     Again, asterisks (*) will appear as you type.
		Hit < Tab > or click on the last box with the word Retype: next to it and retype your new password.

		Click on the CLOSE button to quit the SETPASS program
		2.5.3	If You Forget Your Password
			If you forget your password, tell your instructor or Teaching Theater student technician. You cannot reuse an old password so you will need to give your TA a new password. Remember that it must be a minimum of 5 characters.
		You can access the network through two drives, M: and N:. Both of these drives can store program and/or data files. The M: drive is where your individual personal files are located (think of this as My personal files). The N: drive stores shared files used by everyone in the class (think of this as Not my personal files).
		2.6.1	The M: Drive - Personal Files
			When users access the M: drive, they have access to their own personal files. When in DOS, you will see the following:
M:\>
			In Windows, you can access this drive either through Windows Explorer or you can double-click on the Personal Group icon:
			You can make subdirectories if you wish on your M: drive, though this is not necessary. You can add, change, or delete files from the M: drive and you can store your class notes, assignments, projects, etc., on your M: drive.
			Files on drive M: are protected from other users because these files are only available to a user with the correct id and password. Therefore, keep your password a secret.
		2.6.2	The N: Drive - Shared Files
			When you access the N: drive, you will see a directory called "share". For example, when you access the N: drive, the computer will display
N:\SHARE\>
			In Windows, you can access the N: drive through Windows Explorer.
			Students CANNOT add, change, or delete files from the N: drive (you have read-only access to these files). Instructors and TAs have read and write access to the shared directory.
