Outlook Favorites

Do you get tired of drilling down through the Public Folders in Outlook to find the lab calendars? Well, I certainly do! You can make it easier by adding those calendars to your Public Folder Favorites.

Go all the way down to those calendars. Right click on each calendar and choose "Add to Favorites."

That calendar will then appear in the Favorites folder, which is the first one below Public Folders, so you won't have to do so much clicking to get to them.

Installing a Networked Printer

To install a printer:

• Open the Shortcuts folder on your desktop.
• Open the Printers folder.
• Open the correct location folder
  • If you chose a classroom, open the correct hallway folder.
• Find the name of the printer (the room number is in it) and double click it.
• The last printer you install is the default.
• Each user who logs onto the computer will need to install a printer.
