preferences and settings
As a mobile, ultra-compact device, the FlipStart has a smaller screen than larger computers.
You can customize your preferences to optimize your desktop look and feel for the small
screen and for mobile usage.
Because your FlipStart runs a full version of Microsoft Windows, you can customize your
desktop using the full range of options available from the Windows Control Panel. The
following is a partial list of preferences that you can set to help you use your FlipStart.
For detailed information on customizing your desktop preferences, see Windows Help.
