Setup a windows account at school

All CIS students can use the CIS lab at De Anza. The CIS Lab is in room AT 203 in the Advanced Technology Center building. It is on the main floor. The door is under the main stairs.

The CIS Lab is not functional on Monday of the first week. Do NOT attempt to set up your account before Tuesday of the first week. If you add the course, wait until the day after you add the class before setting up your account.

Go in the door of the CIS lab; turn left; look for the rack of handouts that is just past the CIS service counter. Take the blue page that says "Creating a Windows Account". On the back of the page is a list of which computer pods CIS students use. Use one of these computers and set up your windows account.

Now, log in using your new account. You need to build a folder to put the pages in. Put the folder in the H: drive. You have an H: drive on the server, which you can access from any CIS Lab computer you use.

I suggest you name the folder public_html. The name public_html is the name of the directory we must use on our Internet server, so it is good to use the same directory name in your H: drive.

Please build your public_html folder in your H: drive now.
