Hi Stuart -- I'd propose your users to learn just three hot-keys for starters: - [WindowsKey] + [D] - get to MS Windows classic desktop; - [CTRL]+[ESC] - get to Win8 'Start' screen/channels; - [WindowsKey] + [Tab] - switch between Win8 active channels. as well as continue to use point and click. If they will afford that learning curve then they can get more hot-keys learned from provided links and/or your assistance. If not - they can use just [WindowsKey] + D to get to Windows classic desktop and then use mouse point and click for program icons short-cuts you can get placed on their desktops. -- Shamil Monday, May 27, 2013 4:50 PM +10:00 from "Stuart McLachlan" <stuart at lexacorp.com.pg>: >My average users has enough difficulty with point and click. > >There's no way they are going to use "30 Hotkeys", "50 or 100 keyboard shortcuts" or "touch >and mouse gestures". > >Most of them still don't get the notion of a context sensitve right click menu.
