Getting to Know the Windows ® XP Operating System

Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop

5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.1

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 system desktop include:

Toshiba Access—Opens a window with links to software
updates, services and support, and other important benefits.

Recycle Bin—Holds files you’ve deleted using the Windows
Explorer. You may retrieve these files until you empty the
Recycle Bin.

TECHNICAL NOTE: If you delete a file from a diskette, it does not
go into the Recycle Bin. For more information on the Recycle Bin,
see Windows online Help.

Your desktop may contain other icons depending on your
configuration. See Windows

®

XP online Help and Support

for more specific information on each icon and how to use it.
