wow...no offense, but you can learn better by playing around and looking at different options than just resorting to asking everyone at macrumors how to do really simple things. i always try to encourage novice users to just spend an extra 10 minutes a day just playing around and looking at things that they aren't familiar with and playing around with settings to see what they do. my mom has amazed me with her progress on computers by this method.
