You can use your keyboard instead of a mouse. This is done by a number of keys.

The tab key - this will move from link to link on a web page.

The ALT key - A example being on a web page, up at the top above the address bar, you will see File, Edit, View etc. Under each of these headings, one letter has a underline underneath it. File is F, Edit is E etc. The alt key, allows you to use which ever key is underlined to access the other drop down menu's. Each of these will also have a letter underlined, to access other options.

The arrow keys will allow you to do pretty much the same thing.

Control with a letter. example, instead of right clicking and copy, do Control C.

Instead of right click, and paste. Do control V

Instead of going to file, print, do control P.

Instead of right click and cut, do control X.

There are a number of different keys which can be used with the control key.

Hope this helps

Be safe

Assuming it is not a Mac...

Ctrl + Alt + Del

then use the arrow keys to shut down.

If all else fails - there is also the power on/off button. Hold down for about 5 seconds and the computer will reboot.

Press (3 keys) Alt Ctrl Delete all at the same time.

In windows you probably have to do it twice or three times.

If your computer is set to start from the keyboard, the proper key will show in the BIOS setup.
