[Year 12 SofDev] EXE files blocked by network administration

[Neil Wallace]

Same here - apparently DEECD regs on department drives. Mine can't even save .exe files to their home directory on the network.

We have a small unprotected partition in the image that students can use in class and they back that up to flash storage. 

They also use their laptops as a backup to the desktop machines in the classroom.

Cheers - Neil
