121 Getting to Know the Windows® XP Operating System Lesson 2: Using the TouchPad and control buttons together Computers can be connected together to form a network, so that programs, documents and other data can be quickly and easily shared between computers. You can use the My Computer feature on the Start menu to access any file in the Windows® file system. For more information, read the Microsoft documentation that comes with your computer. Lesson 2: Using the TouchPad and control buttons together The "Getting Started" chapter introduced you to the TouchPad, which is your basic tool for moving around the screen. This lesson lets you practice using the TouchPad and control buttons in tandem. 1 Using the TouchPad, move the pointer to the Start button, then click the primary button (usually the left) to open the Start menu. NOTE In this guide, the term "click" refers to the primary button, which is usually the left-hand button. You can also double-tap the touch pad surface to perform the same function. Instructions requiring the secondary button specifically mention that button. For example, "click the secondary button." 2 Click an empty area of the desktop to close the Start menu. 3 With the pointer in an empty area of the desktop, click the secondary button (the right-hand button) to open the desktop shortcut menu. As the name implies, shortcut menus provide quick access to many operating system features.
