YOU CAN'T SAVE DIRECTLY TO THE HARD DRIVE OF A SHARED CAMPUS COMPUTER.  Well, you can but as soon as you log off, or the power blips, or someone trips over the power cord, it will be gone like a puff of smoke.  Please do NOT try to save things onto the desktop or to the documents folder and expect it to be there later.  For security reasons to protect against viruses and malware, campus computers are set to clear themselves between users.  Your work will not be there the next day.

Please DO save your files in the cloud, either in the OneDrive module that is part of your Office365 campus account, or else to a Google account.  Many, many, many sad students have lost important work by thinking that it would "be on the computer". 

No.

Don't be that sad student.  Save early and often to the cloud.
