Lesson
Access Information
1 Using Computer
What’s In
Information access is the freedom or ability to identify, obtain and make use
of database or information effectively. There are various research efforts in information access
for which the objective is to simplify and make it more effective for human users to access and
further process large and unwieldy amounts of data and information.

What Is It
DESKTOP FUNDAMENTALS
The desktop is the main screen area that you see after you turn on your computer and
log on to Windows. Like the top of an actual desk, it serves as a surface of your work. When
you open programs or folders, they appear on the desktop. You can also put things on the
desktop, such as files and folders, and arrange them however you want
The desktop is sometimes defined more broadly to include the taskbar and Windows
Sidebar. The taskbar sits at the bottom of your screen. It shows you which programs are
running and allows you to switch between them. It also contains the start button, which you
can use to access programs, folders and computer settings. On the other side of the screen,
Sidebar contains small programs called gadgets.
Figure 1. Desktop
Because programs run on top of the desktop, the desktop itself is often partially or
completely hidden. But it’s still there, underneath everything. To see the while desktop without
closing any of your open programs or windows, click the Show Desktop button on the taskbar.
The desktop is revealed. Click the icon again and restore all of your windows to the way they
were.
Icons are small pictures that represents files, programs and other items. When you
first start Windows, you’ll see at least one icon in your desktop: the Recycle Bin (more on that
later). Your computer manufacturer might have added other icons on the desktop. Some
examples of desktop icons are shown below.
Windows stacks icons in columns on the left side of the desktop. But you’re not stuck
with that arrangement. You can move icon by dragging it to a new place on the desktop.
If you want to temporarily hide all of your desktop icons without actually removing them,
right click an empty part of your desktop, click View and then click Show Desktop Icons to
clear the check mark from that option. Now no icons are displayed on the desktop. You can
get them back by clicking Show Desktop Icon again.
The start menu is the main gateway to your computer’s programs, folders and settings.
It’s called a menu because it provides a list of choices, just as a restaurant menu does. And
as “Start” implies, it’s often the place that you’ll go to start or open things.
3
Use the Start menu to do these common
activities:
1. Start programs
2. Open commonly used folders
3. Search for files, folders and programs
4. Adjust computer settings
5. Get help with the Windows operating
system
6. Turn off the computer
7. Log off from windows or switch to a
different user account
To use the Search box, open the Start menu and start typing. You don’t need to click
inside the box first. As you type, the search results appear above the Search box in the left
pane of the Start menu.
4
The Recycle Bin
If you’re sure that you won’t need the deleted items again, you can empty the Recycle
Bin that will permanently delete the items and reclaim any disk space they were using.
A computer keyboard is an input device that allows a person to enter letters, numbers,
and other symbols (together, these are called characters) into a computer. It is one of the most
used input devices for computers. Using a keyboard is often called typing.
Whether you’re writing a letter or entering numerical data, the keyboard is the main way to
enter information into the computer. But did you know you can also use the keyboard to control
your computer? Learning just a few simple keyboard commands (instructions to your
computer) can help you work efficiently.
The keys on the keyboard can be divided into several groups based on function:
a. Typing (alphanumeric) keys. These keys include the same letter, number,
punctuation, and symbol keys found in a traditional typewriter.
b. Control keys. These keys are used alone or in combination with other keys
to perform certain actions. The most frequently used control keys are CTRL,
ALT, the Windows logo key and ESC.
c. Function keys. The function keys are used to perform specific tasks. Theys are
labeled as F1, F2, F3 and so on up to F12.the functionality of these keys differ from
program to program.
d. Navigation keys. These keys are used for moving around in documents or webpages
and editing text. They include the arrow keys, HOME, END, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN,
DELETE and INSERT.
e. Numeric keypad. The numeric keypad is handy for entering numbers quickly. The
keys are grouped together in a block like a conventional calculator or adding machine.
5
The following illustration shows how these keys are arranged on a typical keyboard. Your
keyboard layout may differ.
Figure 8 Keyboard
Typing Text
Whenever you need to type something in a program, e-mail message or text box, you’ll
see a blinking vertical line (l). That’s the cursor, also called insertion point. It shows where the
text that you type will begin. You can move the cursor by clicking in the desired location with
the mouse, or by using the navigation keys.
In addition to letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and symbols, the typing keys
include SHIFT, CAPS LOCK, the TAB key, ENTER, the SPACEBAR and BACKSPACE.
Keyboard shortcuts are ways to perform actions by using the keyboard. They’re called
shortcuts because they help your work faster. In fact, any action or command you can perform
with a mouse can be performed faster using one or more keys on your keyboard.
In Help topics, a plus sign (+) between two or more keys indicates that those keys
should be pressed in combination. For example, CTRL+A means to press and hold CTRL and
then press A. CTRL+SHIFT+A means to press and hold CTRL and SHIFT and then press A.
6
Find program shortcuts
Press ALT+F to open the File menu, then press P to choose the Print command.
This trick works in dialog boxes too. Whenever you see an underlined letter attached to an
option in a dialog box, it means you can press ALT plus that letter to choose that option.
Useful shortcuts
The following table lists some of the most useful keyboard shortcuts.
Press this To do this
Windows logo key Open the start menu
ALT+TAB Switch between open programs or windows
ALT+F4 Close the active item or exit the active
program
CTRL+S Save the current file or document (works in
most programs)
CTRL+C Copy the selected item
CTRL+X Cut the selected item
CTRL+V Paste the selected item
CTRL+Z Undo an action
CTRL+A Select all items in a document or window
F1 Display Help for a program or Windows
Windows logo key +F1 Display Windows Help and Support
ESC Cancel the current task
Application key Open a menu of commands related to a
selection in a program. Equivalent to right
clicking the selection.
7
Using navigation keys
The navigation keys allow you to move the cursor, move around in documents and
webpages and edit text. The following table lists some common functions of these keys.
To use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, press NUM LOCK. Most keyboards have
light that indicates whether NUM LOCK is on or off. When NUM LOCK is off, the numeric
keypad functions as a second navigation keys (these functions are printed on the keys next
to the numerals or symbols).
You can use your numeric keypad to perform simple calculations with Calculator.
Using your keyboard properly can help avoid soreness or injury to your wrists, hands
and arms, particularly if you use your computer for long periods of time. Here are some tips to
help you avoid problems:
8
1. Place your keyboard at elbow level. Your upper arms should be relaxed at your sides.
2. Center your keyboard in front of you. If your keyboard has a numeric keypad, you can
use the space bar as the centering point.
3. Type with your hands and wrist floating above the keyboard, so that you can use your
whole arm to reach distant keys instead of stretching your fingers.
4. Avoid resting your palms or wrists in any type of surface while typing. If your keyboard
has a palm rest, use it only during breaks from typing.
5. While typing, use a light touch and keep your wrists straight.
6. When you’re not typing, relax your arms and hands.
7. Take short breaks from computer use every 15 to 20minutes.
A dirty keyboard doesn't look nice, and can cause your keyboard to not
work properly. Dust, food, liquid, or other particles can get stuck underneath the keys,
which can cause them not to work. Check your owner's manual to see if the manufacturer
has provided you with instructions for your specific keyboard. If so, you should follow them.
If not, the following steps are basic cleaning tips that will help you keep your keyboard
cleans
1. Unplug the keyboard from the USB or PS/2 port. If the keyboard is plugged into the
PS/2 port, you will need to shut down the computer before unplugging it.
2. Turn the keyboard upside down and gently shake it to remove dirt and dust.
4. Moisten a cotton cloth or paper towel with rubbing alcohol, and use it to clean the
tops of the keys. Do not pour alcohol (or any other liquid) directly onto the keys.
5. Reconnect the keyboard to the computer once it is dry. If you are connecting it to a
PS/2 port, you will need to connect it before turning the computer on.
