Leverage System Support
When designing for network access, support standard conventions and interfaces, including the following:
- Use universal naming convention (UNC) paths to refer to objects stored in the file system. This convention provides transparent access to objects on the network.
- Use system-supported user identification that allows you to determine access without including your own password interface.
- Adjust window sizes and positions based on the local screen properties of the user.
- Avoid assuming the presence of a local hard disk. It is possible that some of your users work with diskless workstations.
