The Windows

XP operating system records information, such as your
desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the operating
system shut down normally, details such as new icon positions may be lost.
Using the TouchPad
The TouchPad
TM
, the touch-sensitive cutout in front of the keyboard,
enables you to move the cursor by brushing your finger on the surface in
the direction you’d like the cursor to move. To move the cursor to the top of
the screen, move your finger on the TouchPad away from you. To move the
cursor to the bottom, do the opposite.
For more information on the TouchPad, see the electronic user’s guide.
Primary and secondary control buttons
When you want to click or choose an item, use the TouchPad to move the
pointer/cursor to the item. Once the pointer/cursor is positioned, you can
click it into place by either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the
control buttons.
The control buttons are adjacent to the TouchPad and are used like the
buttons on a mouse. The primary control button is the left one and
corresponds to the left mouse button. To double-click, press the primary
button twice in rapid succession.
The function of the secondary button depends on the program you are
using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button. Check your
program’s documentation to find whether it uses the secondary mouse
button.
Using TOSHIBA Touch and Launch
TOSHIBA Touch and Launch is a program that adds features to the
TouchPad. TOSHIBA Touch and Launch is like a miniature Windows
®
desktop.
To activate TOSHIBA Touch and Launch, touch and hold your finger on a
corner of the TouchPad. The TOSHIBA Touch and Launch window will
appear. A blue circle within the TOSHIBA Touch and Launch window
represents your finger location on the TouchPad. As you move the blue
circle over an icon in the TOSHIBA Touch and Launch window, the icon is
highlighted. Release your finger from a selected icon to choose the icon's
function.
You can personalize TOSHIBA Touch and Launch to help you work more
efficiently. For more information on TOSHIBA Touch and Launch, see the
electronic user’s guide.
