What manufacturer did you purchase your machine from? If it is an HP, you may have built-in tutorials. Most have a short, ';Getting to know Windows'; tutorial but HP provides a deeper level of computer tutorial.





Most system manufacturers provides a basic level of tutorial, to access click on the Help and Support item on your Start Menu. Once the Help and Support applet opens, look in the list on the left for a link called, Window Basics. Click on this and you will open a brief tutorial on how to use many Window features.





If you have an HP, you can use that same Help and Support applet to access a richer level of tutorials. There are several methods of receiving assistance on an HP machine. On the main button in the middle upper area of the screen you will see a button called Learn More about your computer. Clicking on this button will open tutorials. In the list at the left of the screen are other tutorial options in different catagories, click on any of them to begin those subjects.





If you have a different system other than an HP, go ahead and open your Help and Support Center and see what your manufacturer has to offer in the way of tutorials on using your system.





If you are interested in learning more about the Microsoft Office Suite System you can gain access to dozens of tutorials on different topics for each Office application you have installed on your system at Office Online. You can access Office Online from your Task Pane. Click View, Task Pane to open the task pane if it doesn't open by default when you start the application. Simply click on the link in the Task Pane and a browser window will open to Office Online.





You can customize your Office Online experience by having Office Online place your particular Office version in your personal application list. When you do this Office Online personalizes your experience by offering you all types of information just for your versions. Click on a particular application in the list, such as Excel and the page will change to one which offers tutorials. You can also click on Tutorials at the top of the page and then search for an application in particular and browse the offerings. Another method of accessing Online tutorials is to ask a question in either the Search box at the top right of the application window, or by entering the question into the Office Assistant, which then lists all the results in the Results section of the Search Task Pane.





If you are looking for tutorials of other products go to the website of that manufacturer and then search on the Support area. Often there will be a large supply of help. Many applications also have a User Forum where you can ask other Users with a high level of experiance in that particular software application how to perform certain tasks or troubleshooting techniques.





Microsoft also supplies a large number of community forums on the Usenet Internet. There are forums for particular Microsoft applications such as Windows Movie Maker, on computer topics such as Networking, and also for Computer Security and Management. There are dozens of these, some on Microsoft TechNet and others in different areas geared more towards home users.





I hope this information helps in some fashion, good luck and have a nice day.
