There is a standard way of representing a directory structure: `folder1/folder2/folder3/etc/file1`. 

Is there a similar such convention we should use for indicating how to select an item in a series of menus, or a series of mouse-clicks through some windows? Should it be done with dashes, slashes, or something else?

For example, if I wanted to tell somebody how to [turn off the pagefile][1], would I do it like this:

>  Control panel->system->adanced settings->peformance settings->advanced tab->change->Set no paging file

Or like this:

>  Control panel / system / adanced settings / peformance settings / advanced tab / change / Set no paging file

Or as a bulleted list:

>  - Control panel
>  - System
>  - Adanced settings
>  - peformance settings
>  - advanced tab
>  - change
>  - Set no paging file

Or in some other manner?
