Exploring the

Windows 7 Desktop

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.
