Table 1.1: Document Conventions

Element	Meaning
bold font	Characters that you type exactly as shown, including commands and switches. Programming elements, such as methods, functions, data types, and data structures appear in bold font (except when part of a code sample, in which case they appear in monospace font). User interface elements are also bold.
Italic font	Variables for which you supply a specific value. For example, Filename.ext could refer to any valid file name for the case in question. New terminology also appears in italic on first use.
Monospace font	Code samples.
%SystemRoot%	The folder in which Windows is installed.
