What is the Windows Desktop? • Start your computer. You will see the Welcome Center window displayed, once Windows has finished loading. Click on the Minimize button within the Welcome Center window (top-right of the window). You will now be able to see the icons displayed on your Desktop. The Windows Desktop is the area of the screen that you are now looking at. It contains icons and other screen elements. • The icons you see on the Windows Desktop will vary from one computer to another, depending on who installed and customized the Windows installation. As a user of Windows, you can add, remove and move icons on the Desktop. Typically the Desktop will look something like this.
Moving Desktop icons • Click once on the Recycle Bin icon, to select it. • Make sure that the mouse pointer is pointing to the Recycle Bin icon. Press down the mouse button and while keeping it pressed move the mouse pointer to a different position on the Desktop. When you release the mouse button, the icon will have moved. You would use exactly the same technique to move any other icons that are displayed on your Desktop. TIP: The Recycle Bin is used as a temporary store for files that you delete. More about all this later! |
