Hi. I have a desktop computer with windows 7 on it. What does task switching mean? I now am able to put my computer in sleep mode. Can a totally blind person do this without then not being able to start up the computer again? Jusdt wondering.

Hello:
The task switcher you might be hearing is just the windows seven taskbar. Just alt-tab around like usual

Also, you can put your computer to sleep (sometimes if your power is set to do it, it'll just go to sleep after a while if you are not using it). Just hit a key/move the mouse or something and It will come back.

sleep mide is a bit like a less agressive version of hybernation.
