Configuring your LifeBook Application Panel
When you start Windows 98, the LifeBook Application
Panel is automatically activated. An icon resembling a
finger pressing a button will appear on the system tray
(the indented portion of the status bar where the clock is
displayed). When you see this icon you will know that
LifeBook Application Panel is active.
As an application launcher, the LifeBook Application
Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of options. To
set up the Panel to best suit your needs, we have
provided the Application Panel Setup, utility that
quickly and easily helps you make the most of this valu-
able feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with
Application Panel Setup:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on LifeBook Application Panel.
4. Click on Application Panel Setup.
The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There
are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on
the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your
notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch
the following programs:
Application 1 – Notepad
Application 2 – Calculator
Application 3 – Internet Explorer 5.0
Application 4 – Netscape Messenger

The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the
