Hello User, and welcome to Windows 2000 Advanced Server! The beta of the full operating system has been released to the public for users like you to enjoy! For tips on how to use the OS, refer to the Help Section below. If you would like, read the instructions, but if you generally know how to use Windows, you can skip over them. Enjoy! Help v 1.0: Basic Tips: | A window is the rectangle shaped box that you see programs in. (For example, the Recycle Bin window appears when you click on the Recycle Bin icon). | To exit out of a Program, File, or Folder (excluding Setup programs), simply click the X button at the top right-hand corner of the window. | A cascade menu is a menu that drops down or comes out facing sideways that has links to Programs, Files, etc. | Full screen is not recommended, since Windows 2000 uses bitmap imaging. Therefore, it will be hard to read and very low quality. | Starting Setup: Press the Green Flag in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Setup will start. Read the instructions on the blue screen. Follow them until you get to the Setup Wizard. Using Setup Wizard: Read the instructions stated in the Setup Wizard Windows. Follow through with the instructions, and click Next to proceed to the next Window. Navigating the Desktop: Once Setup is complete, the desktop should appear. In the top left-hand corner of the Desktop lies the My Computer Icon. Below it is the My Documents Icon. Then, at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen is the Recycle Bin. In the bottom left-hand corner of the desktop is the Start Menu. To use My Documents and Recycle Bin, simply click on the icons.

When you hover over Settings, a cascade menu will be shown revealing a link to the Control Panel. When you hover over Documents, a cascade menu will show revealing a link to My Documents. When you hover over Programs, a cascade menu will appear, showing a link to Command Prompt. The blank space above Programs is a top-secret project known only to few Users. That is the end of Help.
