Adding or changing computers
Setting up a client (work station) in Windows
Autoexec.bat and config.sys
User Account On Server
Be sure the name of the client is registered on the Server (MR_Server).
If the user you are setting up is brand new, you must create a user account for them on MR_Server. This is done using User Manager for Domains in the Administrative Tools submenu of the start menu. Follow these steps
1. Click:
¨ Start
¨ Administrative Tools
¨ User Manager for Domains
¨ User
¨ New User
2. Then and fill in the blanks which should be reasonably self-explanatory. Use the computer name (eg. WS20) for both the Username and Full Name fields, unless it is a solicitor in which case you can put their real name in the Full Name field.
3. Click "Password Never Expires" on, and "User Must Change Password at Next Logon" off. Click "Groups" and add the user to the MRUsers group.

1. Add these items to the person's Start Menu:
¨ Random House Dictionary (p:\Random House Dictionary\rhudwin.exe)

¨ Update LATAM program (p:\cmds\udlatam.bat)

2. Change the Favorites directory to p:\internet\favorites. The easiest way to do this is to install the TweakUI from p:\install\powertoys (right-click on tweakui.inf and click "Install"), then selecting the TweakUI applet from Control Panel and changing the "Favorites" folder under "Special Folders" in the "General" tab. You will need to log off and on before this takes effect.
3. A few computers may require Zetafax to be set up, but this is the exception rather than the rule. You can install Zetafax from the CD ROM in the server cabinet. We are only licensed for five users. Zetafax will inherit the login name of the computer as its user by default, and unless that user has been configured in the Zetafax server program on Galt, they will not have access to Zetafax's functionality. The computers which do have access are WS4, WS5, WS9, EKBN and MSM.
