Here we will learn about a computer


desktop and various elements of a desktop
window.
01. EXPLORING THE DESKTOP

The small pictures that we see on the


screen are called Icons.
The screen where all the icons are
arranged is called the Desktop.
Icons of activities that we use often
are kept on the desktop.
The bar at the bottom of the desktop
window is called 'Taskbar'.

Windows
To start an application, double click on the
desired application icon seen on the
desktop.

The application window opens on the


desktop.
More than one application can be started
and worked upon at the same time.
Whenever you click on an icon on the
taskbar, the computer brings that
application to the front and allows you to
work on it.
Taskbar
The bar at the bottom of the desktop is
called a Taskbar.
When you open any application, a small
window of that application appears on the
taskbar, this is called a tab.
The taskbar has one tab for each window on
the desktop.
All the applications that have been started,
can be seen in the taskbar.
Clicking an application tab on the taskbar
will bring that window to the front.
