Saving files

Ä

CAUTION: The thin client uses an embedded operating system with a

fixed amount of flash memory. HP recommends that you save files that you

want to retain on a server rather than on your thin client. Be careful

of application settings that write to the C drive, which resides in flash

memory (in particular, many applications by default write cache files

to the C drive on the local system). If you must write to a local drive,

change the application settings to use the Z drive. To minimize writing to

the C drive, you should update configuration settings as described in

“User log accounts” on page 32

.

Mapping network drives

You can map network drives if you log on as either Administrator or
User.

To keep the mappings after the thin client is rebooted:

1. Disable the write filter cache during the current boot session or

issue the

-commit command.

2. Select the Reconnect at Logon check box.

Because a user logon cannot disable the write filter cache, you can
retain the mappings by logging off the user (do not shut down or
restart) and logging back on as Administrator, and then disabling the
write filter.

You can also assign the remote home directory by using a user
manager utility or by other means known to administrators.

Roaming profiles

Write roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles need to be limited
in size and will not be retained when the thin client is rebooted.

For roaming profiles to work and be downloaded, there must be
sufficient flash space available. In some cases it may be necessary to
remove software components to free up space for roaming profiles.
