The First Steps...
Understanding Your Desktop...
The Taskbar
By default the taskbar is at the bottom of your window. It shows you which
applications you have open — represented by a taskbar button (the taskbar
below shows that the HP Brio Center window is open).
The Start Button
This is the starting point for many things you’ll want to do. When you
click on the start button a menu appears from which you can
perform a multitude of tasks — start programs, open documents, find help,
search for things on your computer, and change settings within your computer.
Taskbar Buttons
Every time you open a program a button for that
program appears on the taskbar. To switch between
programs, simply click on the taskbar button for the program you want.
Notification Area
Depending on what you are working on with your HP Brio
PC, small indicators may appear in the notification area (to
the left of the clock). If you are printing, for example, a small printer indicator
appears. Double-clicking on any of these indicators brings up a window where
you can change some of the settings. Try double-clicking the loudspeaker
indicator, and change your volume settings.
