How to Use Windows
1 Working with Menus
Windows commands are listed on menus．Each application has its own menu, with a Control menu common to all applications．The control menu, also called the System menu, opens from the small box in the upper-left corner of each window. Other menus are represented by names in the menu bar at the top of each application window.
In Windows，you select a menu, and then choose command from that menu. Choosing the command carries out the action. To select a menu:
Mouse：Point to the name of the menu bar and click the name to open the menu. (You can drag the selection cursor down the menu if you want to move to a menu item immediately．)
Keyboard:
(1)Press [Alt] or [F10] to select the menu bar．
(2)Press left arrow or right arrow to select the menu you want. (Using the direction keys also selects the control-menu box for the application and the active document window.)
(3)Press [Enter] to open the selected menu
HINT
If the menu names have underlined letters, you can move to the menu bar, select a menu, and open it with one step. Press [Alt]，and then press the under-lined letter. For example, to open Program Manager’s File Menu, press [Alt]+[F]．
2 ．Working with Dialog Boxes
Windows uses dialog boxes to request information from you and provide information to you. For example, when Windows needs additional information to carry out a command you have chosen, dialog box requests that information. You complete the dialog by providing the missing information.
Whenever you see an ellipsis（…）after a menu command, a dialog box follows. For example, when on choose“Open一”from the Notepad File menu, Notepad displays the File Open dialog box asking for the filename of the file you want to open.
Windows also uses dialog boxes to display additional information and warnings, or to explain why are quested task could not be accomplished.
Most dialog boxes contain options, each one asking for a different kind of information. After you supply all the requested information you choose a command button to carry out the command.
3 Working with Applications
One of the major advantages of Windows is its ability to run two or more applications at the sometime. This means that while a spread sheet is calculating complex year-end formulas，you can be working on the text for the annual report in your word processor, and your computer can be receiving the latest information about industry sales trends for you to use in introduction.
Windows not only gives you the power to work with more than one application at a time, you can also move important information between running applications like your spreadsheet, terminal, and word processor. This feature can mean tremendous gains in productivity and a virtual end to duplicated efforts.
Many types of applications take full advantage of the graphical interface and other powerful features in Windows
3.1. They use drop-down menus and dialog boxes，provide certain standard menu items, follow the same keyboard and mouse conventions as those used by Windows, and so on. These applications, as well as all of the applications you received with your Windows package, are called Windows applications．

如何使用Windows
1.使用菜單
Windows的命令列在菜單上。 每一應(yīng)用程序都有它自己的菜單名，但所有的程序都有Control（控制）菜單，Control菜單也叫System（系統(tǒng)）菜單，從每一個窗口左上角的小盒打開。其他菜單以名字表 示在每一應(yīng)用程序頂部的菜單棒中。
在Windows中，選擇一個菜單，再從此菜單中選擇一個命令。 選擇的命令執(zhí)行任務(wù)。
選擇一個菜單的步驟：
鼠標(biāo)：瞄準(zhǔn)菜單棒上菜單的名字，然后點(diǎn)一個名字來打開菜單（如想快速移到一菜單項(xiàng)，可以把選擇光標(biāo)拖動到菜單）。
鍵盤：
(1)按[Alt]鍵或[F10]鍵來選擇菜單。
(2)按左、右鍵來選擇你需要的菜單（用方向鍵也可以選擇程序及 活動公文菜單來選定控制菜單 盒）。
(3)按回車鍵打開所選菜單。
提示：
若菜單名字有下劃線字符，可以移動到菜單棒，選擇菜單，然后 一下打開。按[Alt]鍵，然后按下劃線字母。例如：按「Alt」和F，來打 開程序管理器的文件菜單。
2.使用對話框
Windows使用對話框來向你請 求信息和提供信息。例如：當(dāng)Windows需要附加信息來執(zhí)行所選命令時，對話框就請求該信息。通過提供較少的信息來完成對話。
每當(dāng)在命令后看到省略號時就跟著對話盒。例如：當(dāng)在Notepad File（筆記文件）菜單中選擇 “Open ．．．“時，則顯7: File Open（刊開文件）對話框，向問要打開的文件一名。
Windows也使用對話框顯示附加信息及警告，或解釋不能完成所要完成任務(wù)的原因。
大多數(shù)對話框包括選項(xiàng)，每一選項(xiàng)請求不同種類的信自、。在提供了所需的全部信息之后，選擇一命令按鈕，執(zhí)行命令。
3．使用應(yīng)用程序
Windows的主要優(yōu)點(diǎn)之一是能夠同時運(yùn)行兩個或更多的應(yīng)用程序。這就意味著在用電子表格進(jìn)行年終結(jié)算的同時，也可使用字處理器作出年度報(bào)告文本，并以你的計(jì)算機(jī)以接受關(guān)于行業(yè)銷售趨勢的 最新信息。
Windows不僅能夠同時使用多個應(yīng)用程序，而且能夠在運(yùn)行的應(yīng)用程序（如電子表格終端及字處理 器）之間移動重要信息。這意味著事半功倍。
許多應(yīng)用程序充分利用了Windows的圖形界面及其它有效功能。它們使用下拉式菜單及對話盒 提供某些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)菜單項(xiàng)遵循與Windows使用的鍵盤及鼠標(biāo)相同的 規(guī)范等等。這些應(yīng)用程序以及和Windows軟件一起提供的應(yīng)用軟件都被稱為“Windows應(yīng)用程序”。
