Let's Start at the Very Beginning...
Where to Go from Here
If you're a new user, this can be confusing. You may find yourself
wondering why this guide doesn't tell you how to do something so
simple as writing a letter. Unfortunately, there are a lot of pro-
grams out there that let you carry out tasks like these, and a guide
containing information about all of them would be too heavy to
lift.
This guide contains the information you need to operate each of
the components of your computer, and presents a number of tips
for using Windows 95. For carrying out tasks that use other pro-
grams, refer to the programs' documentation. For more informa-
tion about Windows 95, click the Start button, then click Help. A
number of excellent books are also available with information
about using Windows 95 and many popular programs.
Using Programs Included with Your Computer
Your computer may have come with a number of CD-ROM titles
and programs installed on your hard disk. Each of these programs
includes complete documentation in either printed or electronic
form. If you can't find a printed manual, here are some tips for
finding the information you need:
Most programs include a Help system. Start the program and
click the Help menu to access this information.
If a program on CD-ROM doesn't have a Help system, there
may be a file on the CD-ROM that documents the program.
Click Start, then click Programs. Look in the list of programs
for your program's documentation.
If you still have questions about using the program, contact the
program's manufacturer.
Some of the programs you received may be reduced demonstra-
tion versions of a complete program. These versions let you exper-
iment with a program's features without having to purchase the
full program first. Spend some time playing with these programs.
If you find one or more are just what you've been looking for, call
the company and purchase the full version.
