Student Home Directories

Each student at BMS has a Home Directory for saving and working on computer files. Students can use their email username and password to login to computers while at school. At school students can work on files and save their work to their (H:)drive, located under "My Computer". When at home students can access their files on any computer connected to the Internet. In order to work on assignments at both locations, special steps are needed at home to allow work that is changed and saved at home to be available at school. Below is a listing of Step-by-Step instructions for accessing and working with student files at school and at home.
