(Note: If you are completing this at home, your settings might be different from those in our labs. We use Windows XP and use a Quick Launch toolbar.) If you don't see the Quick Launch toolbar, right-click the taskbar, Toolbars, check Quick Launch.
  2. Click the Maximize button and Restore Down buttons and practice dragging on the edge of the window to resize this window. Click the Minimize button and then click the icon for this browser window to maximize the browser window.
  3. Mouse over any browser icons in the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen and read the pop-up screen tips.
  4. Click Favorites and click CAOT 1, Keyboarding Online to open the Keyboarding 1 Web site then close the browser window. (To add a Favorite Web site, go to the desired URL in your browser; click Favorites, Add to Favorites, to add it to your list of Favorites.)
