Learning the Basics 85 Using the keyboard ❖ Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to conserve disk space and improve performance. ❖ Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is especially important for files you receive via diskette, email, or download from the Internet. ❖ Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries and eyestrain. ❖ Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates a drive is active. Turning off the computer while it is reading from or writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both. ❖ Before turning off the computer, use the Shut Down computer command or Sleep command. See "Using and configuring Sleep mode" on page 79 to learn more about Standby. NOTE The Windows® operating system records information, such as your desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the Windows® operating system shut down normally, details such as new icon positions may be lost. Using the keyboard Your computer's keyboard contains character keys, control keys, function keys, and special Windows® keys, providing all the functionality of a full-size keyboard. (Sample Illustration) Keyboard Character keys Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a typewriter, except that: ❖ The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing over an area of the page.
