  • Not there now - no, it's not hiding behind me

    I get one loser who saved something he made on our desktop. I understand from IT that you can't save things onto the desktop, you can save it on a flashdrive.

    Anyway, lose saved something on the desktop but can't find it. He calls me over, and asks me to walk him through something. So far he knows how to save a file (to the desktop), and open his yahoo mail, and open an email, and press reply, and click on the paperclip and browse, but browsing he is not able to find the file. I ask him where he saved the file, and he tells me the desktop (to be honest, I thought opening an email then try to attache an attachement that way won't work, only if you make a new email. I felt like telling him that but I'm getting a "I know everything" vibe from him.) . I tell it won't save on the desktop, he can only save on a flashdrive. He asks if I can give him a flashdrive and I tell him no, he had to bring his own. He tells me he saved it on a desktop yesterday, to explain why he can't do it today. I tell him again that IT doesn't want anything to be saved onto the desktop. So again he says he did it yesterday and I tell him I don't have time to argue with him and I walk away.

    Ass is bitching, I tell him to keep his voice down, he is disturbing people, but he continues with how some people don't do their jobs, etc. I call security and they said they will show up but they don't.

    I deleted his computer card from the system, though no doubt he will get a new one. Also, he was eating cookies, and i told him there is no eating in the library. Ass probably ate his last cookie when I went to call security.

    If his file isn't on the desktop, where does he thinks I'm hiding it?

    You probably CAN save stuff to the desktop... but it is wiped everytime you logout.
    There's no such thing as a stupid question... just stupid people.

      That's the way it was at my library. All computers reverted to a standard setup after restart.
      I am no longer of capable of the emotion you humans call “compassion”. Though I can feign it in exchange for an hourly wage. (Gravekeeper)

        At our library, also, when you log out whatever is on the desktop you placed there is gone. But my understanding from IT is that nothing can be saved on the desktop. Sometimes people are able to go around that, though.
