Fn-esse

Fn-esse
The operating system shortcuts and Toshiba’s Fn-esse
program provide quick ways to open programs, documents,
and folders from within any program without using the Start
menu.
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
®
program
❖ Open a file in its associated Windows
®
program
❖ Display a customized folder of Windows
®
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 250.
You can assign any key that is not associated with a hot key
or a keyboard overlay.
Starting Fn-esse
You can access Fn-esse in one of two ways:
❖ Click Start, All Programs, Toshiba, Utilities and
Fn-esse.
❖ Click the Fn-esse icon.
