Laptop Keyboard

When your laptop starts, you see some initial messages, maybe a logo or graphic, then the computer's operating system - its main program - comes to life. For PC laptops, this program is Windows.

The version of Windows that laptops use is identical to the one that desktop computers use. Laptops get some extra options, specifically for power management and battery monitoring, plus you may get some other utilities and fun junk that the laptop manufacturer installed. Otherwise, it's the same Windows that you know and despise.
Windows for the first time

When you first turn a brand-new laptop on, Windows goes through some gyrations and prompts designed to help you set up your computer. Windows asks you certain questions, such as which time zone you live in and your name and company name. These questions are designed to finish the installation of Windows, which began back at the factory before your laptop shipped out to you.

Heed the instructions on the screen! It's painless and over with quickly.

When the computer asks you to create user accounts, create just one for yourself. Don't bother creating one for each member of the whole fam-damily as well as your pets just yet. You can do that later if you really need to.

Keep these Windows tips in mind as you start it up on your computer:

    * Windows uses the name that you enter as the administrator in various places.

Don't forget the administrator's password!

    * You don't have to use your own name for your account in Windows XP. It really doesn't make any difference.

    * You have the option to enter an Organization name, though you don't need to.

Special deal software

After setting up Windows for the first time, you may encounter some dealer- or manufacturer-specific program or registration routine. If you don't want to deal with this additional routine, just cancel out of the program.

You can always save registration for later. Generally, you find the registration program's icon either on the desktop or in the Start menu.

No, you don't have to sign up for AOL or EarthLink or MSN or NetZero or whatever other advertisements you find included with the laptop. Feel free to skip over those programs or just delete the icons if you don't care to find out what they're offering.
Windows every time

After the initial setup, and every time you start your laptop after that, the graphical fun and folly of the Windows operating system greets you. It may start right up, or you may have to log in first.

If you set up your account with a password, then the computer prompts you to enter the password before you enter Windows.

On laptops with multiple accounts, you have to choose your account name and then enter the password before you can behold the glory that is Windows.

Whatever, eventually the Windows desktop appears on your laptop's screen.

Here's a roundup of the important Windows features you can expect to see:

    * The desktop: This is your home plate, the starting point for all your adventures in Windows.

    * Wallpaper or background: You see this image on the desktop. You can change it through the Display icon in the Control Panel.

    * Icons: These tiny pictures represent files, folders, or programs inside Windows.

    * The mighty Start button: This button pops up a menu that contains options for controlling the computer or starting programs.

    * The taskbar: This doohickey displays a host of buttons that you can use to switch between windows and programs that you have open on the desktop.

    * The System Tray or Notification Area: This annoying little area contains teensy icons that can help you do things on the computer. It also alerts you to certain happenings and shows the time and day.

Take a moment to find each of these items on your laptop screen. Don't touch the display to point them out (unless you like gross finger marks on your screen)! Just find them and point. (Maybe even say, "Oh, there it is!")
