Security Preferences in the
Setup Utility
Most security preferences are set in Setup utility. Because the
Setup utility is a non-Windows utility, it does not support the
pointing devices on your notebook. When using the Setup utility,
you must use the keys on your notebook to navigate and make
selections.
For more details, refer to
“Using the Setup Utility”
in
Chapter 9.
