Using The Mouse - HP Deskpro 1000 Reference Manual

Using the Mouse

The Compaq mouse comes with your computer, but any serial PS/2
mouse may be used. The mouse controls the on-screen pointer or
cursor when you use Windows and other graphical software.
Compaq Mouse
1. Make sure the mouse is properly connected to the computer
and that the computer startup is complete.
2. Place the mouse on a clean, flat surface, such as your
desktop or on a mousepad.
3. Move your mouse across the flat surface and a pointer
moves across your screen.
To type, move the pointer to a spot on the screen
where you want to begin typing, then press and release
(this is called clicking) the left mouse button once. The
cursor will begin blinking at the spot you clicked, and
you may begin typing there.
To make a selection in a program menu, use the mouse
to click on the menu name, then click on your selection
in the drop-down menu list.
To open icons (small pictures that represent files and
programs), position the mouse pointer on the icon, then
double-click.
The double-click speed is timed. If you double-click too
slowly, your computer responds as if you single-clicked twice.
Remember, click quickly.
