When your computer finishes loading Windows, the Windows
desktop will be displayed. The desktop is your workspace, where you
work with file folders, programs, and documents including
any windows that you have open at the time. You can always get back to the
desktop, even if you open an application program and
expand it to fill the whole screen.
A typical Windows 98 desktop is populated with labeled
icons. When you double-click an icon, it
opens in a rectangular frame called a window. This window
can be resized to suit your requirements. The icons on your desktop
provide
quick access to the places on your computer that you visit
most often. If they don't, you can add or subtract icons.
Step
2: Folder Icons
Folder icons open into folder windows, which reveal the
contents of particular folders in your computerized filing
system. (This window is currently displayed in standard
view. If you display a window in Web-page view, it will
contain a few additional elements.)
Step
3: Program Icons
Program icons open into application programs-that is, they
load the associated programs into memory and start them
running.
Step
4: Shortcut
Icons
Shortcut icons provide alternative ways to enter programs,
documents, and folders. Shortcut icons always have arrows
on them.
Step
5: Special Icons
Your Windows desktop will contain shortcuts to items such
as the recycle bin, My Computer, My Documents & My
briefcase, these are shortcuts that are installed by
default by Windows.
