Adjust How Java Cache Files are Handled in the UWSTUDENT Labs

Introduction

In the UWSTUDENT labs, some students may experience problems with Java cache files causing them to go over quota on their personal H: drive storage. Unfortunately, the program does not allow Information Technology to correct this problem automatically. However, students can now adjust how their Java cache files are handled to help prevent this problem.

For information on the default quota for the student H: drive, see the UWSTUDENT Computer Accounts page.

These instructions are intended for users with a UW domain account on UWSTUDENT lab computers only.
