IBM T60 ThinkPad PDF Manual Guide

Pointing Devices (all 3 devices are active simultaneously)
Mouse – plug a mouse into any USB port.
TouchPad – slide your finger around on the touchpad (14). The buttons below the touchpad are left and right clicks.
TrackPoint – the pencil eraser-thing in the middle of the keyboard (11)
Put the tip of your finger on it and gently push in different directions. The 3 buttons below the space bar work with the TrackPoint. The outside buttons are left and right click, the middle button turns the TrackPoint into a scroller.
You’ll get a little scrolling symbol on the screen. What part of the screen scrolls depends on where the symbol is.
I like to put my mouse in the lower USB port, leaving the upper port open for USB flash drives and other devices. There’s also another USB port on the left side of the computer.

Using an LCD projector
If you turn on the LCD projector first, then connect the cable to the laptop’s external monitor connector (5), then turn on the laptop, the computer will usually recognize the projector as an external monitor and show what’s on the laptop screen up on the projection screen. If it
doesn’t, try Fn-F7 to run the Presentation Director and choose where to show the computer image. The Presentation Director lives at Start > Programs > Accessories > Administrative Tools > ThinkVantage.

DVDs
The standard CD/DVD drive (9) can play all kinds of CDs and DVDs. It can write to CD-R and CD-RW discs, but cannot record onto DVD discs. Press the button on the drive door to open the tray. and insert the disc. Gently push the tray back in to close it. If the window doesn’t
automatically come up asking which program to use to play a DVD, you can go to START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > ENTERTAINMENT > MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC. Then pull down File to Open DVD.

CD Writing
Right click on a file or folder you want to put on the CD and select Send To > Drag-to-Disc Drive (D). To complete the process, open My Computer. Right click on the CD and pull down to “Write these files to CD.” The disc will eject when it’s finished writing.

Connecting to the OC wireless network (from any campus)
Press the ThinkVantage button (17). (or go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Administrative Tools,
ThinkVantage, Productivity Center)
Turn on your Wireless Radio by selecting Power On/Off Wireless Radio and turning the Power On.
Note: there’s also switch on the front of the laptop (19) that turns on the wireless radio. Make sure this switch is on before you try to connect.
Click Open Access Connections at the bottom left of the screen.
Click the Find button at the top left of this screen.
You’ll get a listing of all the available wireless connections. Click on the OC access point that looks most promising and click Connect.

Customizing your desktop
I like to put my commonly used applications on the task bar. Here’s how. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Taskbar and Start Menu.
Unlock the taskbar and click OK. Locate your most commonly used applications (ie. MS Word) using Start, Programs … and drag them down to the task bar. They’ll show up at the bottom of the screen like this: You can also use the same locate and drag process to put a shortcut on your desktop, but I think the taskbar version is tidier. You can also change your Start menu from Classic to XP style using Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu.

Where did my files go?
A quick guide to careful saving. There are several places where you can save your work. By default a file is saved to My Documents (but where exactly is that?) If you click the Up icon you can sometimes figure out where you actually are. In this case it’s not helpful because My Documents is just a shortcut on the desktop. After some exploring I discovered that this instance of My Documents actually lives on the laptop’s hard drive. By opening the My Computer icon on the desktop, I found a folder called Document and Settings, then MMinions, and finally My Documents.When I opened that folder, the address bar told me exactly where my files were: C:Documents and SettingsMMinionsMy Documents When you’re connected to the OC network through an Ethernet cable, you will have another My Documents folder that lives on a big network server. It’s usually the F: drive. Always take a moment to figure out where your file is actually being saved – on the drive in your laptop, or on a network drive. Using the network to share files with others. Drive K: is shortcut that points to the root of the users’ data drive on your home campus file
server. Through drive K: you can access any file/directory that you have been given rights to. You cannot access, or even see, files and directories that you do not have rights to.

Every department has a shared folder that can be accessed through drive K: where shared files can be saved. Everyone in your department has rights to see, read, write, modify, create and erase files and directories in this shared area. Additionally there are shared folders for students/instructors and shared folders for all staff and faculty. The paths to each of these shared folders are as follows:
1. Shared Departmental: K:adm[department]shared, where [department] is replaced with your actual department.
As an example IT Services (once upon a time known as Computer and Media Services) has a shared folder at: K:admcmsshared
2. Shared with All Staff and Faculty: K:admshared
Remember that this folder is wide open to all staff and faculty at OC.
3. Shared Instructor/Student: K:insshared
All staff and faculty have full access rights to this shared folder, but students have rights to only see and read files in this folder. Some of the directories below K:insshared have been opened up to students to be able to write into for saving test results and assignments.
