Making Life Easier
Saving Time with Multiple Configurations
Part I: Getting To Know Your Computer
274
In the office, you want your Toshiba Access Panel to contain the
icons that launch the programs you use most frequently for work.
At home, you need your word processor and possibly a game or
two to play when your child’s homework is finished.
You can set up the Toshiba Access Panel so that when a hardware
event occurs, such as undocking the computer from the Desk Sta-
tion at work, the icons and information displayed on the panel
change.
The Toshiba Access Panel provides five configurations, three of
which come already named and preset with options and settings as
follows:
❖
Home launches the programs you use most when at home.
❖
Office is the configuration you use at work.
❖
Travel might be a different configuration from both Home and
Office. You would use this configuration when on the road.
A configuration specifies the basic features of your system. A
Toshiba Access Panel configuration specifies the power and
battery settings, Fn-esse assignments, the gauges displayed
on the panel and which programs to launch from the Panel.
You can change the settings for Home, Office and Travel. In addi-
tion, you can define settings for two additional configurations
