Saving files

ÄCAUTION: 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.
