The index below goes by Category from Left to Right, Top to Bottom and Easy to Difficult. Meaning. You should start with The Computer category and end with the Windows category. You then go onto the next level starting with The Internet and ending with Security & Updating. The same applies to the sections in each category. You go from top to bottom. So with The Computer category you start from section Getting Started and end with section The Start Menu. The reason for indexing this way is simple. Reading/Learning the Internet category before the Windows category, for example, could mean you do not benefit fully when using an Internet Explorer window and/or when using an Edit Box. Saying this, it is up to you at the end of the day how you want to learn/read each category/section.

     

Over the course of the Basic lessons only (Folders & Files and Windows) you will see for yourself how easy Windows Vista is to use, due to each category/section being explained step by step, picture by picture, in a non-technical/clear/unintimidating way. After learning the basics you might then quit thinking the Advanced lessons are going to be too advanced for you, but that is where you would be making a big mistake. Why? Because the Advanced lessons are purposely explained in the same "easy to learn" manner as the basic lessons, so installing a Printer for example is easier than you think! So do not think computers are "TOO DIFFICULT TO LEARN" and/or "MEANT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ONLY" because they are not.
