Hi,You are invited to visit the moderator's Web site at WWW.DavidGoldfield.Info
Those panes you are referring to are in the start menu. The Windows ten
start menu has become way over complicated these days. On the right side of
the start menu is everything from apps you might use to advertisements to
apps they wish you would use. You can customize that or you can ignore it.
Pinning simply means what it says. It is virtually sticking a pin in that
application so it sticks around right where you pinned it. Smile!
The apps you use most will be on the left side. If you tap your Windows key
and then down arrow a few times. You will see apps that you have recently
opened. The more you use Windows 10 the more you will see familiar apps.
As for Cortana. I will let other people comment on her. I have her turned
off because I do not use her. When I tap the windows key and Jaws says
Cortana. I just ignore it because it means nothing. I just arrow down past
it. Or I start typing what I want and when it begins to pop up I tap enter
and it launches.
Hope that helps.
Merv

Hi, Jan: I would be glad to help you personally by phone. I'm not sure about
the pains you mention. Shutting down the computer that way will not hurt
the computer.

Subject: [blind-philly-comp] Info and a question or two
Hi, all. I assume most or all of you know about this, but a friend of mine
just emailed me about a free iPhone app from, I believe, Microsoft, called
Seeing AI. I guess it reads menus, food packages, etc. She loves it.
I also have a question or two. I'm beginning to try to learn my way around
Windows 10 and am finding two problems. First, there's the right pane and
the left pane and I can't figure out, for the life of me, how to get from
one to the other. Tabbing doesn't work. Also, in the left pane, there are
things like All Apps, Settings, etc.; but when I go into Cortana window, all
I really see is something called Frequently used apps, or some such thing.
When I tab, it get into something called PINS, I think, which I don't
understand. What the heck am I missing here? Trying to get to the Power
button requires so much tabbing and arrowing that I find it easier to just
alt 4 out of everything and eventually get to shutdown. I presume that
doing it my way isn't good for the computer???
I probably need to hire a Windows 10 tutor; but if anyone can just give me a
couple of pointers, I'd be everlastingly grateful.
Thanks much.
Jan
