Computer Skills Checklist

This a checklist of basic operating skills for Windows 95 Operating Systems. You and your partner are to complete the checklist in class. Copy the checklist below to a Word file which you will save with your name and skills, for example: mschulz skills.doc. Perform the tasks for your partner. Your partner will mark the checklist by changing the bullet to a checkmark. If there are items you are unable to do, work with your partner or ask the instructor for help to learn how to do them.
