Windows
Logging In
When the PC is switched on and has finished the ‘boot up’ process, i.e. loading required system files; you are presented with a login screen. You will either find your name on the list of users on the machine you will be using, or will be required to type your username and password. Please remember this password, as it is the same password you require for accessing the staff area and webmail facility.
The Desktop
When you have successfully entered your password, you will be taken to the Windows XP desktop, which looks like this:
The Start Menu
When you click the ‘Start’ button at the bottom left of the screen, you are presented with the ‘Start Menu’ this is where you can access the many features Windows provides.
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 6 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
The start menu is split into two columns; the left hand column provides some quick links to the Internet, Email and to some recently used programs (Word and Adobe Reader in the above picture) as well as ‘All Programs, which is discussed on the next page. The right hand column provides access to features like ‘My Documents’, ‘My Computer’ and the ‘Control Panel’.
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 7 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
‘All Programs’ When you hover the pointer over the ‘All Programs’ option on the ‘Start Menu’ you are given a list of all the programs available on the computer.
Using ‘All Programs’ is a quick way to access the programs you want to use, by hovering over ‘Microsoft Office’ in ‘All Programs’ you can choose from Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook.
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 8 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
My Computer
Clicking on ‘My Computer’, either in the ‘Start Menu’ or on the ‘Desktop’ provides you with access to the various drives on the computer. Here you can browse the various drives like CDs and card media (if you’re PC provides you with this facility)
In here you may also find the ‘S’ Drive, the ‘Sense Scotland Network’, which is explained on the next page
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 9 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
The Sense Scotland Network
Double Clicking on the ‘S’ drive will bring up the various folders on the Sense Scotland Network, otherwise known as the ‘file server’. The file Server is a powerful computer, which we use to store documents, browsing the file server you should see the folder relevant to your department:
It is a good idea to save your files here, as they can: 1. Be shared with your colleagues with ease 2. Will be backed up every night, and can be restored up to a week after being
deleted. If there are confidential files to be saved to the network, private folders are available. Note: please do not save photos or videos to the file server, as these require large amounts of disk space.

Dealing with Junk Email Outlook 2010
If you are getting too many junk emails to handle, there are some ways to manage it. Junk E-mail Protection automatically identifies junk e-mail messages, also known as "spam." It does so by looking for patterns typical of junk e-mail messages, including the presence of certain keywords. Messages that appear to be junk are automatically moved to the Junk E-mail folder. You can choose which level of junk mail protection is right for you. To do so, from the Home tab menu, click Junk in Delete options
Once there then click one of the following options:
The default Low setting catches the most obvious junk messages. Other junk messages are delivered to your Inbox; however, few valid messages are mistakenly moved to the Junk E-mail folder.
The High setting catches more junk messages, but it is more likely to move valid messages to the Junk E-mail folder. You should regularly review the contents of your Junk E-mail folder so that you can move messages you want to receive to your Inbox.
The ‘Safe Lists Only’ setting moves all messages to the Junk E-mail folder that are not from senders whom you have specifically allowed. Messages from contacts in your address book are always allowed, as are messages from addresses in the Mailing List Manager.
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 62 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
We recommend using the High Setting. You can enhance your junk mail protection by doing the following:
Add message senders to the Address Book. Junk E-mail Protection never classifies messages from contacts in your Address Book as junk.
Tip: To quickly add a message sender to the Address Book, hold down CONTROL and click the sender's name in an open message or the Preview pane. On the contextual menu, click Add to Address Book.
You can exempt all messages from an entire domain from Junk E-mail Protection. The domain is the part of an e-mail address that follows after the at (@) symbol. For example, you can specify "microsoft.com" to make sure that Entourage does not classify as junk any messages from senders whose e-mail address ends with that domain name. To specify domains that you trust, on the Junk menu, click Junk E-mail Options, click Safe Senders, and then follow the instructions in the dialog box.
Use the Mailing List Manager to manage messages from an Internet mailing list. Messages that are handled by a mailing list rule are never classified as junk. To learn about the Mailing List Manager, search Entourage Help for mailing list.
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 63 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
We will add Sense Scotland to the safe email list.
Click on Safe Senders at the top of the ‘Junk E-mail Options’ window.
Click on ‘Add’ and then type sensescotland.org.uk into the large box and click OK. Taking these precautions can significantly reduce the amount of junk e-mail you receive into your inbox.
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 64 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
Using the webmail facility If you have a Sense Scotland email address, one way to check your new messages when you aren’t in the office is to use the webmail. You can find the webmail at https://mailhost.sensescotland.org.uk/webmail/login/ or by browsing to the private area (as below) and clicking ‘Click here to Use Web Mail’. The webmail should only be used when you are unable to access the computer which your emails has been setup on, as without checking mail on the computer, your account can reach the limit and you will be unable to send or receive messages.
When you browse to the webmail page, you are asked to enter your username and password. When you have successfully entered your username and password, you will be taken to your inbox. This is where you will see any new messages.
The screenshot above will appear after you click on webmail from the previous

screen. If you have slow internet connection or connection via 3G network check box the User WebMail Mini. After you login you will see your inbox similar to this below
As you can see, there are various configuration options in here, but the one we need to change is ‘Personal Information’
auser
Sense Scotland Staff Guidance Page 66 of 71 Windows XP Users IT Handbook Updated April 2012
In the Personal Information options, please enter your Full Name, Email Address, Reply to Address (which is the same as your email address), your signature, which should be in the following format:

Please ensure you include all of the above when creating your signature. Last of all please select ‘Yes’ to both ‘Signature Options’ at the bottom and then click ‘Submit’ at the bottom right of the screen to save your options. See the next page for a screenshot of the Personal Information Options screen.
