Application Launcher Buttons
Pressing any of the buttons will launch a user-
defined application.
Configuring your LifeBook Application Panel
When you start Windows 98, the LifeBook Application
Panel is automatically activated. An icon resembling a
finger pressing a button will appear on the system tray
(the indented portion of the status bar where the clock is
displayed). When you see this icon you will know that
LifeBook Application Panel is active.
As an application launcher, the LifeBook Application
Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of options. To
set up the Panel to best suit your needs, we have
provided the Application Panel Setup, utility that
quickly and easily helps you make the most of this valu-
able feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with
Application Panel Setup:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on LifeBook Application Panel.
4. Click on Application Panel Setup.
The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There
are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on
the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your
notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch
the following programs:
■
Application 1 – Notepad
■
Application 2 – Calculator
■
Application 3 – Internet Explorer 5.0
■
Application 4 – Netscape Messenger
To change an application associated with the Application
buttons, click on the tab for the button you would like to
reconfigure – for example, Application 1. Click on
Browse from Start Menu, scroll down the list of applica-
tions, click on the application you wish to launch with
this button, and then click OK. The button will now
launch the new application.
The Internet tab is different. It comes set to launch your
Windows 98 default Internet browser, (Internet
Explorer, unless you have changed this in Windows 98.)
In order to reconfigure it to launch another program
follow these easy steps:
1. Click on Other from the Internet browser box.
2. Click on Browse from Start Menu.
3. Scroll down the list of applications, and the click on
the application you wish to launch with this button.
4. Click OK.
The button will now launch the new application. If you
want to return to launching your Windows 98 default
Internet browser with this button, you need only click
on “Default Internet Browser” from the Internet browser
box. Be aware that you will erase the settings for the
“other application”. If you wish to go back to launching
the “other application” from this button, you will need
to reconfigure it as described above.
P O I N T
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the
same order as the buttons on your LifeBook, please
select the tab you wish to change carefully.
P O I N T
The Internet or E-mail buttons can be configured to
launch any application you wish, not just an Internet
browser or e-mail program.
