USING THE MOUSE

USING THE MOUSE

Within all Windows applications, the mouse is used for accessing the menu system, scrolling, positioning the cursor/insertion bar and selecting blocks of text/data.

Below is a list of how the mouse buttons are typically used:


Button

Action

[RIGHT]

Used to access shortcut menus.



[LEFT]

Used to select menu options or commands by pointing to the command/option and "clicking" (pressing) this button once. To cancel a pull-down menu, click this button away from the menu.

Wheel

If you are using Microsoft’s IntelliMouse, you will notice a rubber wheel between the two buttons. You can roll the Wheel to scroll quickly through long documents.


Basic mouse functions include moving, clicking, dragging and double-clicking, as described below:

Moving Refers to moving the mouse around on the screen. You should be aware, however, that the current typing position within a document (cursor location) does not change until you click the [LEFT] mouse button.

Clicking Refers to pressing the [LEFT] mouse button once. Selects an item from the menu or moves the insertion point if done within an application.

Double-clicking Refers to quickly pressing the [LEFT] button twice. Acts as the E key while within menus. It is also used in selecting text in word processors.

Dragging Refers to clicking and holding the [LEFT] button down while moving the mouse. This is used to select text or move objects.

WORKING WITH A WINDOW

WORKING WITH A WINDOW

USAGE: There are two types of windows within the system: Application and Document. An application window is the window containing the actual program you are currently working with (e.g., Excel or Word) - which may consist of one or more document windows. A document window is a sub-window of an application that contains the current file you are working on. For example, when working with a word processing application, you may have two or more documents open simultaneously - each in its own window.

To efficiently work with Windows XP, you need to be able to control an individual window. Most windows allow you to change their size and position.

Each window can be one of three sizes, as discussed below:

Ø Minimized This temporarily puts aside the current window and includes it in the taskbar. The program has not been closed but merely set aside. You can return to where you left off by clicking on the taskbar button representing the program.

Ø Maximized The current window is enlarged to take up the full screen. The window cannot be moved or resized while it is maximized. This gives you "maximum" working area and is useful when working within applications, such as a word processing program.

Ø Restored This is the size of a window before maximizing or minimizing. This is the only setting that you can use to manually change the window size.
MINIMIZING A WINDOW

To minimize a window, click on the button shown below:

Click on this button (located in the upper right corner of the window you wish to minimize).

If you are minimizing a document window, the window shrinks to a miniature title bar located at the bottom of the application window. If you are minimizing an application window, the application is placed as a button on the taskbar. Keep in mind that if you have minimized an application, it is still running and that you have only set it aside temporarily.

MAXIMIZING A WINDOW

To maximize a window, click on the button shown below:

Click on this button (located in the upper right corner of the window you wish to maximize).

The current window expands to fill up the entire screen (or application window if it was a document window).
CLOSING A WINDOW

Closing a document window closes the file you are currently working with while closing an application window actually exits the program itself. This second operation removes the program from memory.

Click on this button (which is located in the upper right corner of the window you wish to close).



NOTE: If you close an application containing a document that has not been saved, you will be prompted to save the file before the program is closed.

USING THE TASKBAR

USING THE TASKBAR

USAGE: Along the bottom of the screen is the Taskbar which is used to quickly access programs, documents, help screens, and Windows settings with the click of a button.

It is also used to display currently running programs so that you can quickly switch between opened applications (referred to as multi-tasking).

The far right side of the bar displays various information and alerts.

The taskbar typically consists of the following parts:



This button is used to access the Start menu which is where all of your installed programs are typically listed.


Taskbar Buttons These buttons represent currently running applications. To quickly switch to any opened application click on its corresponding button.


Notification Area This last section is used to display information and alerts.

TYPICAL WINDOWS ICONS

TYPICAL WINDOWS ICONS

Although only the Recycle Bin is initially placed on your screen, there are several icons that most users add. Below is a list of some of the Windows icons that can be added to your desktop:

Use the My Documents folder to access your most-often used files.


Use My Computer to view and manage the disks, folders, and files stored on your computer.


If you are connected to a network, use My Network Places to display a list of computers and resources on the network.


This icon represents the Recycle Bin folder which stores your recently deleted files until you choose to empty the trash.


This icon is used to access the Internet using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer program.


This icon represents Outlook Express, which is the Microsoft application used to access and manage your e-mail.


This application is used to play video, music and other multimedia files.

window START

START
Most of your activity will begin with the button which displays a menu where you can launch applications, utilities and accessories. When you click on the button, a pop-up menu appears, as shown in the diagram below:


Windows displays a list of available items (e.g., programs, documents, settings) to choose from.

Items containing an arrow indicate additional choices are available. For example, if you select Windows will provide a sub-menu displaying all programs installed on your system.
The following items are available within the Start menu:

Select this item to run Internet Explorer and begin browsing the Net.


Choose this item to open Outlook Express so that you can work with your e-mail.


This program is a basic video-editing application which allows you to transfer home movies from your video camera to your computer for editing purposes. You can capture stills from the video and add narration or sound tracks to it.


This multimedia program is used to play your audio and video files. You can also copy CDs to your hard drive using this application.


If you use MSN as your Internet provider, click on this item to connect to the Internet.


Click on this item to take a tour of Windows XP and learn the basics.


Select this item to display the folder labeled My Documents where Windows automatically stores your standard data files. These files typically do not include video, music or graphics. They, instead, are stored in separate folders.
