Guidelines for
Network Installation of HyperNiche
- Each user needs a unique working folder. Call this the "user's
folder." The user's folder can be either on a local drive or on a network
drive. However, the user's folder must be unique to that user or workstation and the
user must have write access to that folder.
- The "Start In" folder MUST be changed to that unique user's folder.
Install HyperNiche in the normal way. Then
right-click the HyperNiche icon, select
"properties", and type in the name of the user's folder into the "start
in" box. Conflicts will result if multiple users are writing to the same
folder.
Recommended setup:
- Executable files are installed on network folder and shared by multiple users.
- Users keep data files and temporary files on their own hard disks or in their
own folder on a network drive.
- Copy CreateDesktopShortcut.exe (contained in the zip file described below) to
the executable folder.
For class use:
- Same as above, but each user should copy the shared data files into their own
folders.
- In computer classrooms, users may want to define their "Start in"
folder as a USB drive or stick. This allows users to preserve their own settings
from one session to the next, regardless of which machine they are using. (Note,
however, that the same thing is accomplished by having users use their own logical drive
on the network, if such is available.)
For more information, see "Network Environments" in the HyperNiche Help system after installation.
