Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place. It is easy to put off backing up because it takes time. However, if your internal storage drive suddenly fails, you will lose all the data on it unless you have a separate backup copy. For more information, see “Data and system configuration backup in the Windows® operating system” on page 169. . Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to check and optimize disk space and improve performance. . Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is especially important for files you receive via external media, email, or download from the Internet. . Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries and eyestrain. . Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates a drive is active. Turning off the computer while it is reading from or writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both. NOTE The Windows® operating system records information, such as your desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the Windows® operating system shut down normally, details such as new icon positions may be lost.

The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing over an area of the page. . The lowercase letter l (el) and the number 1 are not interchangeable. . The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not interchangeable. Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys (Sample Illustration) Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys The Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys do different things depending on the program you are using. For more information, see your program documentation. Function keys The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12 keys at the top of the keyboard. (Sample Illustration) Function keys F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. For example, Fn + F9 turns the touch pad ON/OFF. For more information, see “Hot key functions” on page 178.
