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, arrows, or something else? For example, if I wanted to tell somebody how to [turn off the pagefile][1], would I do it: - With arrows: > Control Panel->System->Advanced settings->Performance settings->Advanced tab->Change->Set no paging file - With slashes: > Control Panel / System / Advanced settings / Performance settings / Advanced tab / Change / Set no paging file - With a bulleted list: > - Control Panel > - System > - Advanced settings > - Performance settings > - Advanced tab > - Change > - Set no paging file - In some other manner?
