CECS-174: creating a local copy of CECS174
When you use the CECS Computer Labs, it is recommended (and in some applications it may be required) that you have the files you want to use in the local drive (the C:\ drive). This page lists the steps you need to create a local copy your CECS174 folder for you to work with while you use the computer in the lab.
