Many thanks, George - I must spend some time in the Help and Support and have a
list of
Keyoard shortcuts etc. handy for future use.
Two additional queries though. I am using the Classic Start menu to make the
learning
curve a little less steep! Would the padlock still be displayed?
Also the situation was complicated by the loss of speech and (I believe) by the
failure of the
system to respond to any key presses. I thought of alt/ctrl and del but
forgot that on this
model (SSatellite Pro A120-186) the del key is up on the top row rather than
near the space
bbar as it was on my old laptop!
I think that I am going to cheat and plug in a USB keyboard temporarily to
remove at least
one uncertainty!
