SUMMARY

When you run the Learning Microsoft Windows program included in the Microsoft Productivity Pack for Windows, you cannot use the CTRL+ESC or ALT+ESC keystrokes to switch out of the tutorial. If you attempt to use these keystrokes, you do not switch out of the program. Instead, you receive a tutorial message such as the following:

To choose a section of the tutorial, press the number in the upper-left hand corner of the section you want, or click the section. To exit the tutorial, press X.

-or-

Press space bar to go on, or hold down the Ctrl key and F1 to see the tutorial controls.

The message varies depending on where you are at in the Learning Microsoft Windows tutorial.

MORE INFORMATION

Switching out of Learning Windows is not possible because Learning Windows utilizes Windows emulators that provide realistic demonstrations and practice environments. Because of this architecture, context switching out of Learning Windows is not possible. This limitation is also stated in the Learning Windows courseware.
