Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that you press simultaneously to perform
specific actions. For example, from the Windows Vista desktop, press the Alt (alternate)
key, the Ctrl (control) key, and the S key (the letter
S ) to display support information for the
computer (including the model number, serial number, and service ID). You will see this
combination of keys represented as Alt+Ctrl+S. In Windows Vista, press Ctrl+C to copy an
item you’ve highlighted or selected, Ctrl+V to paste a copied item, or Ctrl+Z to undo the
previous action. These shortcuts perform the same actions you can perform through menus,
but save you time and mouse clicks.
NOTE:
Click the Restore Defaults button on the Buttons tab to restore all of the
buttons to the factory settings.
