What is a desktop


When you start your computer, the first thing you see is the desktop. The desktop is your work area. If you are using Windows XP, Vista or Windows7, after you start your computer the first thing you see is the desktop. The desktop is your work area.



Windows XP and Windows Vista Desktops

Feature

Explanation

Taskbar

By default, the taskbar is located on the bottom edge of the desktop. You can click the taskbar and drag it to other locations. The Start button, active program buttons, icons for quick access to programs, and the current time and the notification area are located on the taskbar.

My Computer

The My Computer icon provides access to the resources on your computer. You can access your drives and other peripherals by clicking on the My Computer icon.

Internet Explorer

The Internet Explorer icon launches the Internet Explorer browser.

The Recycle Bin

When you delete an object, Windows XP or Windows Vista sends it to the Recycle Bin. You can restore objects that are located in the Recycle Bin or you can permanently delete them.

Shortcut icon

Icons with an arrow in the lower left corner are shortcut icons. Click the icon for quick access to the object they represent (program, document, printer, and so on).

Program, folder, and document icons

Program, folder, and document icons do not have an arrow in the lower left corner. These icons represent the actual object and provide direct access to the object. When you delete a program, folder, or document icon, you are deleting the actual program, folder, or document.

Sidebar

The default placement for the Windows Vista sidebar is along the right side of your desktop. You can use the sidebar to display gadgets. Gadgets are small programs with which you can display a clock, post notes, track stocks, or perform other miscellaneous tasks.
