060707 - Took a CD disk that I loaded information onto, and Chris tested it on

061105 - the technician if the system was tested. I did not hear the answer. I
061106 - was in a hurry because I was parked in front of the store in a truck
061107 - loading zone. Since all they did was swap a CD ROM drive, I did not
061108 - insist on seeing the CPU booted up to make sure everything is working.

070402 - CPU11 Listing of Disk Contents Not Opening Multiple Sessions
070403 -
070404 - I asked Chris about how to get multiple sessions to open.
070405 -
070406 - He said there is a setting.
070407 -
070408 - When I got back to the office, I called back, but Chris was busy, so
070409 - I talked to Kevin.
070410 -
070411 - Kevin said there is a setting, but he does not know what it is.
070412 -
070413 - He will do some research and call me back.
070414 -
070415 - When I picked up the system, got following instructions...
070416 -
070417 - Open My Computer.
070418 -
070419 - Open View menu.
070420 -
070421 - Select Folder Options at bottom of menu.
070422 -
070423 - Select "Custom" and then click "Settings."
070424 -
070425 - Select "Open each folder in its Own window."
070426 -
070427 - After doing these steps, the thing did not work.
070428 -
070429 - Actually, this is a different issue.
070430 -
070431 - The instructions Chris gave pertain to opening new windows for each
070432 - new level in the directory structure. We do not what that to happen.
070433 -
070434 - What we want is to open multiple sessions each time we click on the
070435 - desktop folder program that shows the contents of the computer.
070436 -
070437 - This works in the following way...
070438 -
070439 - After an initial session is open, if the computer contents program
070440 - is called again, it will not open another session.
070441 -
070442 - However, if the location in the first session is changed to show
070443 - the contents at a lower level by clicking on a drive letter or an
070444 - application like Control Panle, then if the computer contents
070445 - program is called, it will open another separate session.

110702 - Change Assignment of Partition Drives on Network
110703 -
110704 - Since we added a RW CD ROM drive on 981229, ref SDS 10 0706, it is now
110705 - the K drive.
110706 -
110707 - Formerly K was the J drive on another system connected by network.
110708 -
110709 - [On 990114 configured CPU10 again. ref SDS 13 6149]
110710 -
110711 - Need to assign C to L on the network, D has to be changed to M, etc.
110712 - as explained in the record on 981229. ref SDS 10 0200,
110713 -
110714 - The procedure is to open the Network application.
110715 -
110716 - Double click on CPU08, which is the networked computer on CPU11.
110717 -
110718 - This opens a list of drives on CPU08.
110719 -
110720 - Right click on each drive beginning with C on CPU08
110721 -
110722 - This opens a menu with an option to Map the drive.
110723 -
110724 - There is also a Map the drive on the main menu. I tried it and it
110725 - did not seem to work, but it may have worked and I simply did not
110726 - click OK.
110727 -
110728 - Select the drive letter.
110729 -
110730 - This will look funny initially because for example the D drive
110731 - is alreacy assigned to L.
110732 -
110733 - When you select L for C, the display window will show...
110734 -
110735 - C: on L 08\\D
110736 -
110737 - Click OK
110738 -
110739 - A warning message comes up and says L is already assigned to
110740 - D, to you want to change it to C.
110741 -
110742 - Click OK.
110743 -
110744 - Do this for each drive.
