We offer Beginners to Intermediate training in Microsoft Windows XP setting the stage with a discussion of important operating-system concepts. Then we start Windows and explore the desktop, icons, and windows. We also explore Windows Help before showing you how to shut down your computer.

While using WordPad to create a document, we discuss how to start programs and choose commands using menus and toolbar buttons. Then we start a couple of other programs to demonstrate multitasking and show how to print files.

We track down and open existing documents using My Computer, Windows Explorer, Network Neighborhood, and the Find command. Then we get organized by creating folders and moving, copying, renaming, and deleting documents.
