Saving files The computer uses an embedded operating system with a fixed amount of flash memory. HP recommends that you save files that you want to retain on a server rather than on your computer. Be careful of application settings that write to the C drive, which resides in flash memory (in particular, many applications by default write cache files to the C drive on the local system). If you must write to a local drive, change the application settings to use the Z drive. To minimize writing to the C drive, update the configuration settings. Mapping network drives To keep the mappings after the computer is restarted, follow these steps: 1. Disable the write filter cache during the current boot session or issue the -commit command. 2. Click Reconnect at logon. Because a user logon cannot disable the write filter cache, you can retain the mappings created by a user by logging off the user (do not shut down or restart the computer), logging back on as administrator, and then disabling the write filter. You can also assign the remote home directory by using the Local Users and Groups utility or by other means known to administrators. Roaming profiles Write roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles need to be limited in size and will not be retained when the computer is restarted. NOTE: For roaming profiles to work and be downloaded, sufficient flash space must be available. You might need to remove software components to free up space for roaming profiles. Local drives 9

Saving files
The computer uses an embedded operating system with a fixed amount of flash memory. HP
recommends that you save files that you want to retain on a server rather than on your computer. Be
careful of application settings that write to the C drive, which resides in flash memory (in particular,
many applications by default write cache files to the C drive on the local system). If you must write to
a local drive, change the application settings to use the Z drive. To minimize writing to the C drive,
update the configuration settings.
Mapping network drives
To keep the mappings after the computer is restarted, follow these steps:
1.
Disable the write filter cache during the current boot session or issue the
–commit
command.
2.
Click
Reconnect at logon
.
Because a user logon cannot disable the write filter cache, you can retain the mappings created by a
user by logging off the user (do not shut down or restart the computer), logging back on as
administrator, and then disabling the write filter.
You can also assign the remote home directory by using the Local Users and Groups utility or by
other means known to administrators.
Roaming profiles
Write roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles need to be limited in size and will not be retained
when the computer is restarted.
NOTE:
For roaming profiles to work and be downloaded, sufficient flash space must be available.
You might need to remove software components to free up space for roaming profiles.
