My computer
For the new computer owner, there seem to be many road-blocks that prevent one from accomplishing the desired action.
What to do?
It is somewhat discouraging to spend many hours in front of the computer with no progress. This is why we developed different themes that contain simple explanations to help you get started with your computer.
Environment
Here we will concentrate on Microsoft's Windows XP, which is still the most common operating system (OS). In our next project we will include Windows Vista, which is Microsoft's latest OS. For other systems such as Linux, Unix or Mac OS 10, we recommend for now that you refer to other specialized sites.
Symbols that we will use in our text
For a better understanding, we created several icons:
Represents a left click of the mouse.
Represents a rapid double left click of the mouse.
Represents a right click of the mouse.
Represents the scroll wheel of your mouse.
Represents a click down on the scroll wheel of the mouse.
Field represents a selectable option
Captured field represents the area where you capture your text
Captured field represents the area where you capture your text with a list of predetermined options you can chose from
Selection represents a selected text by clicking the mouse once
Zone is a location on the window
