Disclaimer:  This document was produced for the use of the people attending TOPAP’s Online facilities in Toowoomba as a written guide to assist them in the learning process of computers.
It is in no way a complete guide for all of the windows operations or programs mentioned in the guide.  It is designed as a starting point for people to become accustomed to the computer and the products we offer at TOPAP.
There is no fast way of acquiring this knowledge, especially for older people, as this is a completely new area of learning for them.  We simply use this guide to complement the online help system and other learning materials or strategies people may attempt.
All pictures are actual screen dumps of programs in use on the computers at TOPAP Online using Windows XP Professional Operating System, the text is our interpretation of the products function.
