Help with using keyboard and mouse

Most users visiting this site will use a mouse to find their way around, but we understand there are many users who employ a range of devices. 

To make visiitng this site easier for those not using a mouse, we have introduced Access Keys which allow you to access key sections by using keyboard controls.  We've also designed the site in such a way as to make it easier to use the Tab key to go through all of the main links.  Simply press tab and you will highlight the links in order, pressing return will then take you to the selected link.

Using Windows without a Mouse

Most people think that Windows has to be operated with the mouse and that, if you cannot use a mouse, you cannot use Windows.

This is not the case. In fact not only can Windows be operated entirely from the keyboard, but doing so can often be faster and easier than using the mouse.

It is very easy, for example, to open Windows Explorer by holding down the ' Windows' logo key and pressing ' E'. This is much quicker than clicking on the ' Start' button, then ' Programs', then ' Accessories' and finally ' Windows Explorer'.
