Desktop, Right Click, Windows Key Navigation
Did you know that once you click to highlight any Icon on the Desktop you can move around the other Icons by using the Arrow keys? You can then, stop when your chosen Icon is highlighted, and press the ENTER key to Open it.
Instead of a Right Click at any time, you may have a key you could press to bring up that Menu. It should be on the row where the Spacebar is, probably next to the Ctrl key. Some computers have one on the left and one on the right. You can also use Shift + F10. A different Right Click menu may appear depending on what type of window is on your screen. This is because the right click menu is a contextural menu based on the programme you have open. When that menu appears, remember
you can type an underlined letter to choose that word. For example, in MS Word, F opens Font.
The Windows Key, also on that bottom row, has many uses as quick ways to do things. You can bring up the Start menu by pressing the Windows Key then use the arrow keys to scroll through items. You can jump to different sections of the menu (once opened) by pressing any letter of the alphabet. For example, W will take you to the programmes which start with that letter.
