Paths

Following a Path

Many instructions in documentation direct you to locations

within the operating system, an application, or a utility where you

can select settings. The greater than symbol (>) is used to direct

you from destination to destination along the path to the settings.

As you follow paths, do nothing at each destination along the way

except select the next destination. The paths in your notebook

documentation:

■Explain whether to look for an icon, a tab, or a button on the

screen. Tabs are displayed along the top edge of individual

windows.

■Are based on the notebook pointing device functions set at

the factory:

❏To select, press the left TouchPad button 1once.

❏To double-click, press the left TouchPad button twice.

❏To right-click, press the right TouchPad button 2once.

Most paths to Windows destinations begin with “Start >.” To

select Start (and display the Windows Start menu), select the Start

button in the lower left corner of your screen or press either of the

Microsoft logo keys 3on the keyboard.
