This year you will find a slightly different approach to user account management on Windows computers in e-classrooms. The key changes are:

• Each person who logs in to the computer will now have their own profile, rather than using a shared account. This means that files and icons placed on the desktop of any e-classroom computer you use will not be visible on anyone else’s desktop using that same computer in the future.
• Faculty & staff accounts will be still be “admins” and therefore able to install software. Student accounts are not “admins” and as such will have limited privileges – hopefully reducing malware problems experienced on Windows e-classroom computers in the past.

Your first login to a Windows e-classroom computer will be a little longer than usual (up to a few minutes) as your profile is created, so you’ll want to allow time for that. Any future login on that computer will be significantly faster.
