Desktop shortcuts and Toshiba’s Fn-esse program provide quick ways to open programs, documents, and folders from within any Windows®-based program without using the Start menu. For more information on creating desktop shortcuts, refer to the operating system documentation that came with your computer.

This section describes how to use the Fn-esse program to quickly access your programs and files.

With Fn-esse, you can assign an Fn key combination to:

❖Open a Windows® operating system program

❖Open a file in its associated program

❖Display a customized folder of programs and/or files from which to choose

Fn-esse also has several keys, known as hot keys, that perform preassigned operations. For more information, see “Hot Keys” on page 203.

You can assign any key that is not associated with a hot key or a keyboard overlay.

Starting Fn-esse®

Click Start, All Programs, Toshiba, Utilities, and then Fn-esse, or click the Hotkey Assignment icon in the Optimize tab of TOSHIBA Assist.

The Fn-esse keyboard appears.
