ACCESSING AND MAKING A SHORTCUT TO LAN PUBLIC FOLDERS The last issue of the digest included instructions for saving large files to your H:\Public folder as an alternative to sending them as attachments via email. Some users may access another person's Public folder often enough that they may want to place a shortcut to it on the desktop. To make a shortcut to another user's H:\Public folder, click Start > LU Public (Windows 9x) or click Start > All Programs > LU Public (Windows XP). Locate the user's folder by clicking the first letter (or two) of the person's User ID. Windows will quickly jump to the folders that start with those letters. When you find the user's folder, right-click it. Left-click "Send to" and then select "Desktop (create shortcut)". Getting to their directory again is as simple as double-clicking the shortcut. If you have questions about this procedure, please contact your computing consultant. PLEASE COMPLETE LIBQUAL SURVEY Library and Technology Services is very grateful to the students and faculty who have already completed the LibQUAL survey on the quality of Lehigh Library services sent out by e-mail on March 24th.

These iMacs run on the OS X operating system and feature an easy-to-adjust 17" flatscreen monitor; 1 GHz PowerPCG4 processor; DVD/CD burner, 80 gigabyte hard drive, and powerful graphics processing capabilities. Software installed on these machines includes Internet Explorer, the Microsoft Office suite, and other Mac-supplied applications. Work is under way to further integrate the iMacs into the Lehigh network. For additional information on the iMacs, contact the help desk at 8-HELP. SPAMASSASSIN: SPAM FILTERING FOR LEHIGH In recent months, many people have reported an increase in the amount of spam, or unsolicited commercial email, that they are receiving. LTS provides a spam filtering service called SpamAssassin to identify spam coming into your inbox. SpamAssassin uses an algorithm to identify suspicious mail, and certain attributes will make it more likely that email is spam and tagged as such. Some examples include: --Certain keywords, such as "click here now" or "free offer" in the subject line or body text. --HTML tagging that includes very large fonts and multicolored text. --Date info is 12 to 24 hours after Received: date. SpamAssassin inserts the text [SPAM} in the subject line of any email message that is suspected of being spam. If you want to see why a message was tagged as spam, SpamAssassin appends a descriptive summary at the beginning of the message. Make sure not to open any attachments that accompany the message. Read the summary of the email characteristics that caused the message to be tagged as spam. More information about SpamAssassin will be included in later Digest articles. For additional information, contact the help desk at.8-HELP. COMMAND ANTIVIRUS LICENSE EXPIRES MAY 30, 2003 Lehigh University's license for Command AntiVirus expires May 30, 2003.
