I am not sure how to get what I need on the netbooks

IT has said to let them know what I need to have put on all of the machines and I am really excited to do this. However, I am not sure what I want or how to communicate what I do want to them. I want to get my Kindle account on each machine. I have done some investigating and found out that I can have 6 copies of each book open at one time. I would really like to utilize this for motivation during book clubs.  I also do not see the application that allows the machine to switch to the tablet mode on the students desktops. There is also some issues with saving to their flash drives. I would like a short cut in the task bar. This is something that they are more accustomed to. I have learned the keyboard shortcut recently and I am using this with the students now but the task bar icon would still be appreciated when I work with students from other classes that may not have had the instructions.
