The desktop is the entire screen, except for the bar at the bottom. Windows, dialog boxes, and icons, such as the Recycle Bin, are displayed on the desktop. You can store shortcuts, which are icons for your favorite programs, on the desktop. You can drag windows, dialog boxes, files, and icons around the desktop. Double-click an icon on the desktop to open it.
A desktop icon represents a program or folder that can be started or opened and moved about the screen.The Recycle Bin is a desktop icon for a folder that contains all of the files that have been deleted since the Recycle Bin was last emptied. Double-click a desktop icon to open or start what it refers to.
The Start button, located on the left of the taskbar, opens the Start menu when clicked. This provides you with primary access to the programs, utilities, and settings that are available in Windows.
The icons you have in the notification area will depend on the programs and processes you have running and the system features you have available. The icons shown here include system messages, which access the Action Center; Network, which accesses the Network and Sharing Center; and Speakers, which allows you to control the sound from your computer. In a laptop or notebook computer, you probably have two additional icons: Power and Wireless.
The taskbar at the bottom of the screen contains the active tasks, which are icons and titles of the programs that are running on the computer or folders that are open. The taskbar also holds the Start button on the left and the notification area and Show Desktop button on the right. Click a program on the taskbar to open it.
Taskbar previews are a miniature image, or thumbnail, of an open window attached to a taskbar icon. When you mouse over an icon on the taskbar, a thumbnail of the open window or windows related to that icon will temporarily appear, as shown here. If you then move the mouse to the thumbnail, a temporary full-sized image will appear. When you move the mouse off the thumbnail or the icon, the corresponding image will disappear. Open a window by clicking its thumbnail. Close a window by clicking the Close button on the thumbnail.
