Week 28

Well this was my Superior's last day before a three week hiatus (during which I will be working overtime) so we had a bit of work to do. First off we had to change the permissions of a program called fortress that allows us to have administration powers on a normal account by pressing ctrl shift f and then entering a password in a window that pops up. This permanently set the permissions of students so that they were able to move files into their own folders which they needed as they were moving pictures of themselves into their accounts.

We also had to change the shortcut to GIMP that was on the the desktop as it did not allow access to the program on any accounts besides those of administrators. To do this we simply went to the all users folder and then into the the desktop folder therein, we then deleted the GIMP shortcut. We kept that window open and pressed start. went to programs, moused over print, right clicked, pressed copy, and finally pasted the shortcut into the desktop file. To make sure everything was in working order we logged onto rastudent (the general login) to make sure that it worked on all accounts.

Lastly we had two computers that we apparently forgot to upgrade after the summer which had begun to crash. Windows made it so that if you did not have a particular download from them (which we had not gotten since the computers had been off between June and September) the computer would regularly crash when trying to update. We originally believed that we had updated all the computers and that their crashing was due to something else however when we double checked that turned out to not be the case so we went to Windows' website and downloaded the necessary files.
