Desktop is what you see on the computer screen. You can customize the settings on the desktop
This is what a
typical desktop looks like except this one is on my computer
There
are many icons on this desktop. We are going to discuss a few ones here.
Most of the icons are software programs like Microsoft Access, VB and
Netscape Communicator. Then there are few others like My Computer, Network
Neighborhood and Recycle Bin. Lets take a look at few of these
My Computer:
This
icon gives you information about your machine. If you look below this is
what my computer looks like
As you can see, I have a floppy
drive, couple of hard drives, two CD Roms and some other icons. When you
click on these icons e.g. Control Panel, it will take you there directly.
Network Neighborhood:
The Network Neighborhood will display all the
computers on your network. If you are not on a network, it will give you an
error. The network lets you access files and folders on machines you have
access to. Also you may choose to share your files with other people in your
team. When I click on this icon on my computer, I get this picture.
