We started our meeting with an entertaining “vocabulary” of computer terms by Mike Salter. Thank you, Mike, for always finding some way to start us off on the right foot.
In the main presentation today, we discovered new Tips & Tricks of how to better use Internet Explorer and Windows 7.
Topics Presented:
- How to customize your desktop with your favorite photos
- Using “tabs” on your web browser to open multiple web pages
- We examined toolbars & what they can do
- How to set a “home page” when the web browser opens
- How to drag our favorite websites to a “favorites” toolbar
- Best use of a search box
- How to add items to the task bar for easy access
- How to customize the start menu
- Accessories in Windows 7 like calculator, snipping tool, sticky notes
Next week we’ll add some frivolity by showing a sample of hidden object games and talk about the favorite games we play on our computers. PLUS….we’ll have “open computer time” to discuss any problems or questions about your laptop.
December 29 – no formal presentation….just bring your laptop and we’ll share questions and answers. (Laptops must be fully charged as plug ins are not available.)
If you have a copy of the presentation disks, please bring them back to the next meeting so they can be shared with others.
