Classrooms & Labs
Roaming Profile
The iSchool labs are set up to use IT user flex profiles that allow many of your individual and personal settings to roam with you in the ischool computer labs. Whenever you customize your working environment, the changes follow you. For instance, you may change your desktop wallpaper, create your own set of “Favorites” in Internet Explorer, change your options in Word; these customizations will move with you as you use different machines in the labs, GA, or PhD workspaces.
Occasionally, however, your profile can become corrupt or outdated. For example, if the iSchool installs new versions of software or moves software around on the machine’s hard drive, your profile may be looking for that software in the wrong location, or the software may not come up with all the default options set properly, or set the way you prefer. Occasionally, you may also see broken icons on your desktop or the Start Menu.
To reset your profile to the default setup, please contact the iSchool IT Help Desk at ihelp@uw.edu.

Important Note While the iSchool IT Office is resetting your roaming profile, please do not login to any iSchool computers. After your profile has been reset, please login initially to a different computer than the one you used immediately before your profile was reset. |
