ABOUT DESKTOP SCREEN



The main screen you'll start from is the "Desktop". This is sort of like a main menu or a table of contents. From here, you can access the programs and features you need to use your computer.




A desktop may refer to any of the following:


1. A desktop is a term commonly used to describe a Desktop Computer or "System Unit".

2. When referring to an operating system or GUI, the desktop is a system of organization of icons on a screen. The Microsoft Windows desktop was first introduced with Microsoft Windows 95 and has been included with every version of Windows since then. 

The image below is an example of the Microsoft Windows 7 desktop.



In this example, there are no icons on the desktop, and the wallpaper is a blue screen with the Windows 7 logo. Also, the Taskbar is at the bottom of the desktop and contains the Start button, Taskbar icons, Windows Notification Area, and the Time and Date.

          Tip: You can get to the desktop at any time by pressing the Windows key and D



What Items and Icons are found on the Window Desktop?

1.Icon
2.Menus
3.Button
4.Folder


Icons are used to represent the different files, applications, and commands on your computer. An icon is a small image that's intended to give you an idea at a glance of what it represents, like a logo. Double-clicking an icon on the desktop will open that application or file.

A button is a command that performs a specific function within an application. The most commonly used commands in a program will be represented by buttons.

Menus are organized collections of commands and shortcuts. Click a menu to open it and display the commands and shortcuts within. Then click an item in the menu to execute it.

Some of the most common icons on the desktop include those for My Computer, Recycle Bin, your Internet browser (e.g., Internet Explorer), and My Documents. On the Windows desktop, you also have access to the Windows Start Menu through the Start button on the Taskbar, as well as the Windows Notification Area.
