Before we start• The early slides have text• The later ones have pictures• I’ll try to make it painless• Ask if you have any questions• Laugh if I tell a joke

Do once• Using Windows Explorer create C:\etmas folder• Within that folder create two sub-folders
– C:\etmas\downloads– C:\etmas\returns
• Install file handler from CD or download from eTMA site• Configure file handler

Creating folders• In Windows Explorer navigate to the
C:\ “bit” • Select “File -> New -> Folder”• Name the folder “etmas”• Click on the etmas folder and use the
same process to create the subfolders
