Customizing Your Computer Using the Control Panel

Chapter 6

In this chapter I learned about how to make use of the Control Panel and how to use and customize my settings, including Parental Controls, Adding and Removing User Accounts, User settings and accessing, and learning about the different permissions and levels. I also learned how to change the date and time settings. How to change my control panel view, keyboard and mouse settings, including the click lock setting, and device settings. Also, how to add or delete a printer.
I also learned about the Network and Sharing Center, Device Manager, Properties, and Updating Drivers. Also, Installing and Uninstalling updates, and Installing and Uninstalling Programs.
I learned how to use the Windows Experience Index and how its used and scored. You can also see and print your full windows system information. I also learned about the Security and Maintenance settings which is located in the Actions center, and how important a firewall is and why it should always be Turned ON. I learned about the Accessibility access settings for ease of use, for those who have either a vision, hearing, or mobility issue. Changing the Contrast helps people who have impaired vision. As well, i learned about data format, and adding a second clock and logging off the computer.

This concludes what I have learned from Chapter 6.
