Starting Programs Faster with Fn-esse
You may think that when you have one Windows program open
and want to open a different program, you must click Start, point
to Programs and click on the program you want to open. Not nec-
essarily—Windows 95 shortcuts and Toshiba's Fn-esse program
provide quick ways to open programs, documents and folders
from within any Windows program. For more information on
making Windows 95 shortcuts see: “Lesson 8: Making Shortcuts”
on page 67. The following section describes how to use the Fn-
esse program to quickly access your programs and files.
By assigning a key combination with the
Fn
key, you can:
❖
open a Windows program.
❖
open a file in its associated Windows program.
❖
display a customized folder of Windows programs and/or files
from which to choose.
You can assign any key that is not associated with a hotkey or a
keyboard overlay. This section explains how to assign
Fn
key com-
binations and use them to open programs and files quickly.
Starting Fn-esse
