Compaq Organize software is a desktop tool you use to organize both your PC
shortcuts and your favorite Internet destination links. You use it to organize the
important things you do on the PC and the Internet, and to arrange it the way
you want. Compaq Organize makes all your information available with just a
few mouse-clicks.
Compaq Organize looks like a window with multiple category frames. Each
category has links to Internet destinations or shortcuts to software programs or
files on your PC. Use the player area for viewing pictures, for listening to your
MP3 music files stored on your computer, or for watching streaming video news
clips. For searching, there is a search bar at the top of Compaq Organize where
you can select the search engine you want to use.
To open Compaq Organize:
1 Click Start on the taskbar.
2 Choose All Programs.
3 Choose PC Help & Tools.
4 Click Compaq Organize.
