If you receive the error "H:\ is not accessible. Access is denied." you may be using a departmental computer that has a shared login rather than an individual login (meaning everyone who uses that computer logs in with the same account name rather than their personal username and password). If that is the case, follow the steps below to access your personal network drive.If you encounter problems connecting to the new network file server (fs1)
