Important!
Both the G and Q drives are shared drives. Do not make any changes to these drives unless you know what you are doing. If you rename folders or move files, you may make them unreadable by others.

FOR EXAMPLE: If you add a tilde to the existing folder, "ESPANOL", you will break all links to programs in the Language Lab that reside within that directory. If you have any questions, contact Ralph Sutter at rsutter@cuesta.edu or 546-3100 x2694.
