On University computers running the Windows 7 operating system, documents DO NOT automatically save to your H: network drive. Instead, documents default to the C: drive, which is only stored locally (not backed up) on the computer.
If you recently upgraded to Windows 7 on campus or whenever you receive a new University computer running Windows 7, it is imperative that you follow the following instructions to set your default documents folder to be your H: network drive. Failure to do so could lead to you being unable to access saved files from another computer or losing data if your University computer malfunctions.
