Navigating with the Stylus Pen
With a Tablet PC, you typically use a stylus pen instead of a
mouse to interact directly with objects on your screen. You
can open, move, edit and delete items — such as icons, files,
windows and more — with easy-to-use basic functions similar
to those performed with a mouse.
Selecting Multiple Items
Windows Vista is well aware of how you
manipulate items on your computer
traditionally with a mouse and how
selecting multiple items for such actions
as moving or copying, might be a bit
more challenging when using the
stylus pen. Because of this, Vista adds a
selection checkbox in the upper left
corner of icons and in the far left
column of list views.
Hover over an icon on your desktop
and you will see this checkbox appear.
Tapping on it will place a check mark
