Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop
Icons
An icon represents a folder, file, or program that can be quickly
activated by double-clicking the icon.
You can create a new desktop icon for any folder, file, or program
by dragging the element’s icon from its location in a window to the
desktop area.
The icons initially displayed on your Windows

documents, graphics, or other files you want to access quickly.
My Computer — Shows the file system for your computer and the
network (if any).
