Introducing Your Computer Software
The operation of your computer is controlled by two kinds of software:
The Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, which displays the desktop on the
monitor and controls your computer’s hardware, peripherals, and software programs.
Software programs that perform specific functions, such as word processing.
The software programs included with the computer may vary by model and by
country/region.
Learning More About Software
You can find information on using software and on the Microsoft Windows Vista operating
system in this guide and the onscreen Help. For Microsoft Windows Vista, you can also
open the built-in Help and Support Center.
Press the Help button (labeled with a question-mark icon) on your keyboard (select
models only).
Or
Click the
Windows Start Button
on the taskbar, and then click
Help and
Support
.
For help with specific software, refer to the onscreen Help within the program.
Using the Desktop
The
desktop
is the work area that appears on the monitor screen. It includes the taskbar
along one edge, and shortcut icons that make it easy to find the things you need.
The taskbar shows the
Windows Start Button
; a button for each open window, so that
you can switch between programs; and the notification area that includes the time.
A
shortcut icon
is a small picture that you click to open a folder or start a program. One
icon on the desktop that performs a special function is for the Recycle Bin, which collects
files or shortcuts that you delete. When you empty the Recycle Bin, the files or shortcuts are
permanently deleted. You can retrieve items from the Recycle Bin until you empty it.
