Adding a Folder Shortcut

1. Add a Shortcut

Right-Click on an empty area on your Desktop to reveal the Context Menu. From there, hover your mouse over New, and select Shortcut from the available options.

2. Set the Path for the Shortcut

We will need to direct the shortcut to the appropriate location.

The location can be a shared network folder, like this:

\\192.168.1.100\Shared Folder

Or a path to a folder on your local machine, like this:

C:\Users\username\Documents\MyFolder

The exact path will be different depending on where your shortcut leads you. You can utilize the Browse to select a folder if you don't know the full path by heart.

If you need access to a specific directory, please reach out to us by submitting a ticket and we will guide you to the appropriate path.

3. Add a user to the appropriate organization

From the user directory, you will need to select the appropriate organization for the new user account. There are three simple steps to ensure this is done correctly.

Selecting an org-unit for new accounts

1. Click on Users from select organizational units from the upper left side.
2. Find the appropriate org-unit from the list on the left and click on it to select it.
3. Click on Add new user from the top of the page.

4. Create the user account

When adding a new user, you will be prompted to input their first name, last name, their email address (along with the appropriate domain) and to generate a password for the account.

Please see our formatting conventions for creating Staff and Student emails in Google

5. Create a password for the account

Right below the above fields is a blue link that reads Manage user's password, organizational unit, and profile photo

Click on that link to expand the password options. Upon doing so, you will be presented with the option to create a password for the new user. Click on Create password and generate a password for the new account with the Ask user to change their password when they sign in option checked.
