| In this course, you will learn all
about the Windows Accessories. We will teach you what the
Accessories are, why they are important, and how to use the important
ones. We'll show you how to activate the QuickLaunch Bar, how to
use Calculator, how to write a business letter in WordPad,
how to create basic text files in Notepad. We'll teach you how to
create graphic images in Paint, and how to incorporate those
images into your WordPad (or other) documents. We'll go over all
of the different Accessibility and Entertainment
accessories, and show you how to use the Disk Cleanup system
tool. Hey, even if you don't think
you'll ever need to use those "silly little Windows Accessories," you'd
be surprised how powerful and functional they are. What happens if
you're at a friend's house and he doesn't have Microsoft Word? Use
WordPad. What happens if you need to quickly edit a bitmap picture
and you don't have Photoshop? Use Paint. The Accessores are very
useful and surprisingly powerful - if you know how to use them
properly!
