CHAPTER 2: Using Windows

6

Using the Windows desktop

After your computer starts, the first screen you see is the Windows 

desktop

. The desktop is like 

the top of a real desk. Think of the desktop as your personalized work space where you open 
programs and perform other tasks.

.

Your desktop may be different from this example, depending on how your computer is set up.
The desktop contains the taskbar, the Start button, and the Recycle Bin icon.

Help

For more information about the Windows desktop, click 

Start

, then click 

Help and Support

. 

Type

 in the 

Search Help

 box, then press

Description

The 

taskbar

 is the bar at the bottom of the computer display containing the 

Start button on the left and a clock on the right. Other buttons on the taskbar 
represent programs that are running.
Click a program’s 

button

 on the taskbar to open the program’s window.

The 

Start button

 provides access to programs, 

files, help for Windows and other programs, 
and computer tools and utilities.
Click the 

Start

 button, then open a file or 

program by clicking an item on the menu that 
opens.

The 

Recycle Bin

 is where files, folders, and 

programs that you discarded are stored. You 
must empty the Recycle Bin to permanently 
delete them from your computer. For 
instructions on how to use the Recycle Bin, see 

“Deleting files and folders” on page 11

.

The Windows Security Center icon may appear 
on the taskbar near the clock. The icon 
changes appearance to notify you when the 
security settings on your computer are set 
below the recommended value or when 
updates are available. Double-click this icon to 
open the Windows Security Center. For more 
information, see 

“Modifying security settings” 

on page 60
