Let's get to know the HP TouchSmart homepage.
From the Windows desktop, double-tap the House icon to open the HP TouchSmart software.
The HP TouchSmart homepage has two rows of tiles.
The tiles are shortcuts to your various programs.
Use the top row for programs you use every day.
Use the bottom row for your other programs.
Touch a tile and slide your finger right or left to scroll.
This works in both rows.
To move a tile between rows, drag it from one to the other.
You can also drag a tile from one location to another within the same row.
To open a tile, a single tap is all you need.
To get back to the homepage, just tap the House icon in the upper left.
You can open tiles from either the top or bottom row.
Remember, tiles are shorcuts to your programs.
Some programs, like this Solitare game, will open outside of the HP TouchSmart software.
When you're finished using the program, just close it to get back to HP TouchSmart.
You can switch to the Microsoft Windows desktop from the HP TouchSmart homepage by tapping
the Windows icon in the upper left.
Tap the House icon in the taskbar to return to the HP TouchSmart software.
When using HP TouchSmart, you can resize tiles to get a closer look.
To do this, touch two fingers at the same time and slide them apart or together like this.
