Chapter 4: Configuring The netpad

Things To Do First

4.1 Things To Do First

This section describes what you may need to do to set up your netpad:

•Customize the screen rotation of the netpad.

•Enter owner information in the Owner control panel, so that your netpad can be returned if you lose it.

•Set a password for your machine, so that other people cannot access your information.

•Set the current time and date.

4.1.1 Screen Rotation

Screen rotation on the netpad is accessed from the Rotate icon found on the Windows taskbar. To rotate the screen, click on the Rotate icon. It will rotate the screen in 90° increments.

Rotation is not fully supported by some programs. For instance, Windows Explorer should be closed and re-opened after rotation, otherwise the scroll bars will not redraw correctly.

In auto-hide mode, the taskbar may not be properly displayed after rotation. Menus on icons in the system tray should not be activated before the screen is rotated. Menus should be closed before rotation.

Warning:

Some applications do not support screen rotation and rotating the

 

screen may cause some programs to become difficult to use.

 

Some programs, such as Control Panel, may not support rotation

 

at all.
