  • Microsoft Word 2010
    Microsoft Word 2010 Prepared by Dr.salma Sultan Salman 1 P a g e | 2 1 - The Desktop The Desktop is the main Windows 7 screen (see image below). It is the work area where dialog boxes, windows, icons, and menus appear. Like an office desk, the Windows 7 desktop contains items you can use to do your job. For instance, from your desktop, you can perform file-management tasks and run software applications. You can customize the appearance of the desktop to suit your preferences. Desktop Icons The Desktop is where you’ll find icons (small pictures) for many of your most frequently used programs. You’ll most likely see icons for Computer, Documents, Recycle Bin, and Internet Explorer. Computer – Allows you to see what drives are attached to your computer (for example, your local hard disk drive, your CD/DVD drives, any networked shared drives, and external drives, such as a USB flash drive). You can also view the files that are located on these drives. Documents – Supplies a ‘catch-all’ place for your personal files. Within here you can see your files, any shared files from other computer users and any music or pictures you may have stored. The Documents folder will sometimes be identified by your name instead of the word “Documents.” Recycle Bin – Stores any files you delete until you empty it. Internet Explorer – Contains Windows’ built in web browser that integrates with other Windows components (such as your folders and Documents). 2 P a g e | 3 On the other hand, you can also create and edit icons for your own use.
