Summary of Class

Helpful Hints
Written by: Richard Wright

Class ID: RW-03

This is an introductory class that may help you when using Microsoft’s Operating Systems. The hints pertain primarily with using Windows 98, ME or XP.

Class will start with a brief explanation of how to handle active applications you are using. Then we will discuss the Task Bar and Icons (also known as Shortcuts).

There is an overview regarding the mouse and how to adjust its features.

Of course this type of class lends itself to questions, which are always welcome.

The finishing touches will include the use of the Windows Explorer (not to be confused with Internet Explorer). Windows Explorer is helpful to create and maintain Folders, as well as the files stored in the folders.
