Windows Basics

This class builds on the basics learned in Computers 101 session and is for anyone that wishes to discover how to navigate the initial Windows desktop (screen). This session will teach you how to: use the shortcuts & icons to open programs, control the size and placement of open windows (using move, minimize, restore, maximize buttons and scrollbars). You will also learn what all those items at the bottom of the screen (on the task bar) do and how to use common menu options to open, save, print, copy & paste, undo mistakes, change view(zoom), and get help. You will also learn how to create new folders (to save files into) AND how to find them when you need them.
