Most of computer applications have been ever developed by increasing their functions with graphical user interface. Especially Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh have good interface with pointing device. This progress can be done by speed up of CPU and cost down of hardware. However, not all the user can use all the current functions in computer applications because they do not need too many functions for their jobs. In addition, complicated functions in GUI make the novice users embarrassed even when they just make a simple document. In this study, we have a point of view to pick up some necessary functions for the novice users to develop simple user interface. Investigation to 150 users shows that there are some differences about way of using computer between novice users and exparts. The result of this study can be applied to minimizing function of computer to make the novice users feel easy to use.
