Getting to Know the Windows ® XP Operating System
Lesson 2: Using the pointing device and control buttons together

Your office may have more than one file cabinet, just as your 
computer may have more than one disk drive.
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, accessible through 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 pointing device and 
control buttons together 
Your computer comes with a TouchPad pointing device. The 
“Getting Started” chapter introduced you to the pointing 
device, which is your basic tool for moving around the 
screen. This lesson lets you practice using the pointing device 
with the control buttons in tandem.
How to best use the TouchPad and the control buttons together 
is a matter of personal preference. Many users find that the 
ideal way is to use both hands, with one index finger working 
the TouchPad and the other clicking the control buttons.

Using the pointing device, move the cursor to the Start 
button on the screen, then click the primary button 
(usually the left button) of the adjoining control buttons 
to open the Start menu.
In this guide, the term “click” refers to the primary button, 
which
 is usually the left one. Instructions requiring the 
secondary button specifically mention that button. For 
example, “click the secondary button.”
