" Hey it is Tony from expertvillage.com alright we are coming to right now actually we are not coming to you right now but, I'm coming to you via streaming on the Internet which is very cool. So this we are now looking at the top right of the menu bar which you could see have a couple little icons here. I just want to kind of show you what these icons are obviously right here in the center is the time and the date. Today is Wednesday alright it is 8:22 and okay 8:22 pm. If you need to change that clock or change the date you can just click on it once it would open up this box which says view it analog, view it digital or open date and time. I have it as digital but, you could also use it regular you know second hand kind of clock and change it to that which is kind of hard to see. So I prefer the digital and you could just select it and change it to whatever you want by opening up the date and time. Over here is your volume control it kind of looks like little speaker with audio coming out so that is your volume control. You could click that and adjust it. Adjust the volume as you like and the volume control you also have on your keyboard which is are speakers on there as well. But, you could also do it the mouse by coming to the top of the menu here. Here is the cool feature this is little icon right here it is called spot light. Basically it could search for anything on your hard drive if you are trying to locate a file or what ever it is you just click on this guy and it would bring up the spotlight. You type in what ever the file might be is I type in my name it would bring everything that has my name involved in it. Whether it is project files or pictures, or whatever it is. It is a very easy way to find the files your looking for without driving yourself mad which is a great feature."
