58 Getting Started

Selecting Items on the Windows Desktop and in

Other Software

With the HP TouchSmart PC, you always have the flexibility to use various ways to navigate the desktop,

search the Web, and work with various programs on your computer. You can use the touch screen,

keyboard, mouse, stylus (purchased separately), or remote control (included with select models only).

Some tasks, such as using the HP TouchSmart programs, browsing the Internet, or accessing your favorite

programs, are better suited to the touch screen. Other tasks, such as typing search text, are better suited to

the keyboard. Other tasks, such as using the Windows Media Center program to watch and record TV

programs, are designed to work with the remote control.

Your HP TouchSmart PC is designed to use the touch screen in several ways. When you are in the

HP TouchSmart program, you can select and open items with a single tap. On the Windows desktop

and in some software programs, you must use double-tap to open shortcuts, programs and other

selectable items.

The following table provides desktop and software navigation tips.

NOTE: Software that you purchase and install separately is accessible with the touch screen, but some

programs may be easier to use with a keyboard or mouse.
