Now,
whenever you press the function key you
programmed, your browser will startup,
and display your selected webpage. There is
a possible problem with using a function
key for this. If you have another
program open that already uses the
particular function key that you just
programmed, one may conflict with the
other and the result may not be what you
expected. However, this is unlikely, but
to eliminate it altogether, use a
combination key press and include the
CTRL, ALT and/or the Shift key plus a
function key or other key.
Q.
Relating to a computer network, what are
roaming profiles?
A.
Roaming profiles are used in
client/server networks where there are
many computers connected to a network,
and the several users frequently use
different computers on the network. A
roaming profile contains the user's work
environment, which includes the desktop
items like shortcuts and settings. Other
examples of these environments are
screen colors, mouse settings, window
size and position, and network and
printer connections.
Roaming profiles are stored on the
server. Then, when a user signs on to
any computer on the network, their
profile is available. This makes the
computer look exactly the same for them
no matter which computer they are signed
on to. Should they make an addition of a
desktop icon on computer "A", it will
also be available to them when they sign
on to computer "B". In other words,
their profile follows (roams with them)
them from computer to computer.
Although roaming profiles can be used on
any network, they have limited value
unless the network computers are shared
with several users, and the users have
need to sign on and use different
computers on the network.
