Viewing Modes
You can view the items on the deskTop in either text or icon mode. Use
text mode
if
you wish
to
view a list of all the files on the disk without
having
to
page through the disk note pad pages. Text mode will sort files in
a variety of ways. In any way the files
are
sorted, files with numbered
names (e.g., the
1526
printer driver file) will appear before alphabetical
names. Text mode also displays certain
information about each file: its
category
type
and how much memory it uses. Scroll through the list by
clicking on the scrolling arrows at the bottom of the disk note pad. Use icon
mode if you wish
to
manipulate the file
in
any manner (e.g., open it).

view
by
icon
mode:
