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 TouchPad
™
The TouchPad
™
, the small, smooth, square cutout located in
front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to
move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move
your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you would like
to move the cursor:
❖ To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your
finger forward on the TouchPad.
❖ To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your
finger toward yourself.
❖ To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide
your finger across the TouchPad from left to right.
❖ To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to
left.
Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen, moving
your cursor across the screen often means having to move your finger
several times across the TouchPad in the preferred direction.
Once you have positioned your cursor, you can click it into
place by either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the
control buttons.
Do not press on the TouchPad too hard or press a sharp object such
as a ball point pen against the TouchPad. The TouchPad could be
damaged.
For some functions, you can tap the TouchPad instead of
pressing a control button.
❖ Click: Tap the TouchPad once
❖ Double-click: Tap the TouchPad twice
❖ Drag and drop:
1 Hold down the left control button and move the
cursor to drag the item you want to move.
