<P
> The Mandrake Control Center allows you to configure various
parts of your system using a collection of tools.
</P
>
<P
> Your Control Center may contain more tools than are documented
here depending on the applications installed on your system.
</P
>
<P
> The Control Center is divided into two main sections, the menu of
configurable tools and the main work space.
</P
>
<P
> Working with the Control Center simply requires you to select a
Tool from the menu on the left and double click on it. Once
this is done, the workspace will change, allowing you to
configure the item.
</P
>
<P
> You may start the Control Center one of three ways. To launch the
Control Center without any particular active capplet select the
<SPAN
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Control Center</SPAN
> menu item from the
<SPAN
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Settings</SPAN
> submenu in the Main Menu. You can also
start the control center from the panel without the menu button if your
panel has the control center launcher placed on it.
</P
>
<P
> If you know which tool you would like to start you may select it
from a submenu of the <SPAN
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Settings</SPAN
> menu.
