Exploring the
Windows 7 Desktop
J
ust as your desk is the central area from which you do all kinds of
work, the Windows 7 desktop is a command center for organizing your
computer work. Here you find the Start menu, which you use to access
information about your computer, files, folders, and applications. You’ll
also find a taskbar that offers settings, such as your computer’s date and
time, as well as shortcuts to your most frequently accessed programs or files.
In this chapter, you explore the desktop, which appears when you log on
to Windows 7. Along the way, you discover the Recycle Bin, the area of
the Windows 7 taskbar that lets you open frequently used programs, the
notification area, and how to shut down your computer when you’re done
for the day.
Here, then, are the procedures that you can use to take advantage of the
desktop features of Windows 7.
