Using the Windows desktop
After your notebook starts, the first screen you see is the Windows
desktop
. The
desktop is like the top of a real desk. Think of the desktop as your personalized work
space where you open programs and perform other tasks.
Your desktop may be different from this example, depending on how your notebook
is set up.
The desktop contains the taskbar, the Start button, and the Recycle Bin icon.
Help
For more information about the Windows desktop, click Start, then click
Help and Support. Type Windows desktop in the Search Help box, then press
E
NTER.
Desktop elements Description
The
taskbar
is the bar at the bottom of the notebook display
containing the Start button on the left and a clock on the right.
Other buttons on the taskbar represent programs that are
running.
Click a program’s
button
on the taskbar to open the program’s
window.
The
Start button
provides access to
programs, files, help for Windows and
other programs, and notebook tools
and utilities.
Click the Start button, then open a file
or program by clicking an item on the
menu that opens.
The
Recycle Bin
is where files, folders,
and programs that you discarded are
stored. You must empty the Recycle Bin
to permanently delete them from your
notebook. For instructions on how to
use the Recycle Bin, see Deleting files and
folders” on page 11.
The Windows Security Center icon may
appear on the taskbar near the clock.
The icon changes appearance to notify
you when the security settings on your
notebook are set below the
recommended value or when updates
are available. Double-click this icon to
open the Windows Security Center. For
more information, see “Using Windows
Security Center” on page 64.

You can start programs, open files, customize your system, get help, search for files
and folders, and more using the Start menu.
To use the Start menu:

Adding icons to the desktop
You may want to add an icon (shortcut) to the desktop for a program that you use
frequently.
To add icons to the desktop:
1 Click (Start), then click All Programs.
2 Right-click (press the right touchpad button) the program that you want to add
to the desktop.
3 Click Send To, then click Desktop (create shortcut). A shortcut icon for that

on the desktop. This example shows the Local Disk (C:) window, which opens after
you double-click the Local Disk (C:)
icon in the

window.
Every program window looks a little different because each has its own menus, icons,
and controls. Most windows include these items:

Working with files and folders
You can organize your files and programs to suit your preferences much like you
would store information in a file cabinet. You can store these files in folders and copy,
move, and delete the information just as you would reorganize and throw away
information in a file cabinet.
Viewing drives
Drives
are like file cabinets because they hold files and folders. A notebook may have
more than one drive. Each drive has a letter, usually Local Disk (C:) for the hard drive.
You may also have more drives such as a disc drive.
To view the drives, folders, and files on your notebook:
1 Click (Start), then click Computer.
Clicking the
minimize button
reduces the active window to a
button on the taskbar. Clicking
the program button in the
taskbar opens the window
again.
Clicking the
maximize button
expands the active window to
fit the entire notebook display.
Clicking the maximize button
again restores the window to
its former size.
Clicking the
close button
closes
the active window or program.
Clicking an item on the
menu bar
starts an action such as Print
or Save.
Help
For more information about files and folders, click Start, then click Help

2 Double-click the drive icon.
Creating folders
Folders
are much like the folders in a file cabinet. They can contain files and other
folders.
Files
are much like paper documents—letters, spreadsheets, and pictures—that you
keep on your notebook. In fact, all information on a notebook is stored in files.
To create a folder:
1 Click (Start), then click Computer on the Start menu.
2 Double-click the drive where you want to put the new folder. Typically, Local
Disk (C:) is your hard drive.
3 If you want to create a new folder inside an existing folder, double-click the
existing folder.
4 Click Organize, then click New Folder. The new folder is created.
5 Type a name for the folder, then press E
NTER. The new folder name appears by
the folder icon.
For information about renaming folders, see “Shortcuts” on page 19.
Copying and moving files and folders
The skills you need to copy and move files are called
copying
,
cutting
, and
pasting
.
When you
copy and paste
a file or folder, you place a
copy
of the file or folder on
the Windows
clipboard
, which temporarily stores it. Then, when you decide what
folder you want the copy to go in (the
destination
folder), you
paste
it there.
When you
cut and paste
a file or folder, you remove the file or folder from its original
location and place the file or folder on the Windows clipboard. When you decide
where you want the file or folder to go, you paste it there.
Shortcut
Click File Á New Á Folder Á type name
Important
The clipboard stores whatever you cut or copy until you cut or copy
again. Then the clipboard contains the new information only. Therefore, you
can paste copies of a file or folder into more than one place, but as soon as
you copy or cut a different file or folder, the original file or folder is deleted
from the clipboard.

Deleting files and folders
When you throw away paper files and folders, you take them from the file cabinet
and put them in a trash can. Eventually the trash can is emptied.
In Windows, you throw away files and folders by first moving them to the Windows
trash can, called the
Recycle Bin
, where they remain until you decide to empty the bin.
You can recover any file in the Recycle Bin as long as the bin has not been emptied.
To delete files or folders:
1In the
Computer
or
Windows Explorer
window, click the files or folders that you
want to delete. For instructions on how to select multiple files and folders, see
“Shortcuts” on page 19.
If you cannot find the file you want to delete, see “Searching for files” on page 12.
2 Click Organize, then click Delete. Windows moves the files and folders to the
Recycle Bin.
To recover files or folders from the Recycle Bin:
1 Double-click the Recycle Bin icon on your Windows desktop. The
Recycle Bin
window opens and lists the files and folders you have thrown away since you
last emptied it.
2 Click the files or folders that you want to restore. For instructions on how to
select multiple files and folders, see “Shortcuts” on page 19.
3 Click Restore. Windows returns the deleted files or folders to their original
locations.

To empty the Recycle Bin:
1 Double-click the Recycle Bin icon on the Windows desktop. The
Recycle Bin
window opens.
2 Click Empty the Recycle Bin. Windows asks you if you are sure that you want
to empty the bin.
3 Click Yes. Windows permanently deletes all files in the Recycle Bin.
Searching for files
If you are looking for a particular file or folder or a set of files or folders that have
characteristics in common, but you do not remember where they are stored on your
hard drive, you can use the Search utility.
Files and folders found using this utility can be opened, copied, cut, renamed, or
deleted directly from the list in the results window.
Using the Windows Search
To find files and folders using the Search:
1 Click (Start), then click Search. The
Search Results
window opens.
2 If you want to search on your notebook by file or folder name, type in all or
part of the file or folder name in the
Search
box in the top right of the window.
If you type all of the name, Search will list all files and folders of that name.
If you type part of the name, Search will list all of the file and folder names
containing the letters you typed.
3 Open a file, folder, or program by double-clicking the name in the list.
Caution
Emptying the Recycle Bin permanently erases any files or folders
in the bin. These files cannot be restored.

Using advanced search options
Search can find files meeting more criteria than file name. You can narrow your search
by selecting the search options that you want. You can search by the:
Name or part of a name
Creation date
Modification date
File type
Tag
Author
Text contained in the file
Time period in which it was created or modified
You can also combine search criteria to refine searches.
Files and folders found using this utility can be opened, copied, cut, renamed, or
deleted directly from the list in the results window.
Browsing for files and folders
A file or folder that you need is rarely right on top of your Windows desktop. It is
usually on a drive inside a folder that may be inside yet another folder, and so on.
Windows drives, folders, and files are organized in the same way as a real file cabinet
in that they may have many levels (usually many more levels than a file cabinet, in
fact). So you usually will have to search through levels of folders to find the file or
folder that you need. This is called
browsing
.
To browse for a file:
1 Click (Start), then click Computer. The
Computer
window opens.
2 Double-click the drive or folder that you think contains the file or folder that
you want to find.
3 Continue double-clicking folders and their subfolders until you find the file or
folder you want.
Using Tablet PC
Your notebook may have the Tablet PC features. Some of these features include:
Tablet PC Settings—Set the properties for the digital pen, tablet buttons, display
screen, and Input Panel.
Table PC Input Panel (TIP)—Use its writing pad or soft keyboard for entering
data.
Windows Journal—Hand-write documents which you can turn into text or image
files.
Sticky Notes—Make a quick note with your digital pen or voice, then drop it
into another program.
Inkball—Practice and master digital pen input with this game.

For more information about browsing for files and folders, click
Start, then click Help and Support. Type files and folders in the Search
Help box, then press E
NTER.

Calibrating your tablet
The first time you use your tablet PC, you should calibrate your digital pen for both
portrait and landscape orientations. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the digital
pen and adjusts the screen’s performance for different users.
If the on-screen pointer does not seem to line up with the tip of the digital pen—for
example, because someone else has used your tablet PC and adjusted it for their own
use—recalibrate it to your tapping patterns. Recalibrate if you write with the opposite
hand from the previous user—right-handed writer to left-handed writer.
To calibrate your tablet:
1 Click or tap (Start), All Programs, Accessories
, then click or tap Windows
Mobility Center. The
Windows Mobility Center
window opens.
2 Click or tap (Change Tablet PC settings). The
Tablet PC Settings
dialog box
opens.
3 Click or tap the General tab.
4 Click or tap Calibrate, then follow the on-screen instructions.
