Where should I save my files?
You should save your documents in "My Documents", this folder is placed on your personal M-drive. By doing so, you can access your documents from any Winbar databar computer and even from your laptop (see this guide).
If you save documents locally on the machine (eg. on the desktop) you will only be able to access it from that machine as long as it has not been reinstalled, which will happen without warning.
Save all your data in "My Documents" and save your self a lot of trouble.
The L-drive is the place where Unix- and Linux computers save their data.

I am missing one of the of the programs I need to use in one of my courses. Why is it not installed on the computer?
In the Winbar there are a lot of programs - over 250! That means, that not all programs can be installed at the same time. If you need a program you can find and install it by looking under:
- Desktop -> Installation of programs -> ...
Here you can find the program you want. If you think, that a program is missing, you should talk to your teacher of the course in question to find out if it would be possible to get the program in the Winbar. If the program is freeware and you think, that many others would benefit from having the program in the Winbar, then contact AIT-HelpDesk-Lyngby@dtu.dk from your student mail account. Remember to write an installation guide and a link to the program.
