enter the command exactly as shown and then

 

press Return or Enter. Commands appear in bold.

following command:

command in uppercase and lowercase letters.

 

However, you can abbreviate commands by

 

entering the fewest letters in each command that

 

identify a unique command. Commands are not

 

case sensitive.

 

 

The words “enter”

When you see the word “enter” in this guide,

and “type”

you must type something, and then press Return

 

or Enter. Do not press Return or Enter when an

 

instruction simply says “type.”

names

simultaneously, the key names are linked with a

 

plus sign (+). Example:

 

 

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del

 

 

Words in italics

Italics are used to:

 

Emphasize a point.

 

Denote a new term at the place where it is

 

 

defined in the text.
