A brief discussion about the different components on the computer
desktop screen:
Meaning of Desktop - Desktop
is the first screen that appears after booting. It is basically a folder that
contains the link of the basic tools like a phone book, writing tools, drawing
tools, etc that a real desktop contains.
Meaning of Icons - The
small pictures on the desktop are called icons. Think of them as doorways to
the files and programs stored on your computer. Place your mouse over an icon.
Text appears identifying its name or contents. The first time you start Windows
, you'll see only one icon—the Recycle Bin
what are Files and Folders? - Each
piece of work, or file, can be stored in a folder. Folder icons generally look
like a briefcase with yellow color. Shortcuts icons are identified by the small
arrow on the lower left corner of the image. These let you access:
- Programs
- Files
- Folders
- Disk drives
- Web pages
- Printers
- Other computers
Shortcut
icons simply supply links to the programs or files they represent. You can add
and delete them without
affecting the actual programs or files
Meaning of Taskbar - By
default Taskbar appears at the bottom of the screen. It contains the Start menu
and notification area, where you'll see the clock. Other icons in the
notification area can appear temporarily, showing the status of ongoing
activities. For instance, the printer icon appears when you send a file to the
printer, and disappears when printing is complete. You'll also be reminded in
the notification area when new Windows updates are available to download from
the Microsoft Web site.
Start Menu - The
Start menu appeared automatically the first time you ran Windows. You can
return to the Start menu anytime by clicking the Start button on the taskbar.
The Start menu contains everything you need to begin using Windows. From it you
can:
- Start programs
- Open files
- Customize your system with Control Panel
- Get help by clicking Help and Support
- Search for items on your computer or the Internet by clicking Search
- And more!
