Getting to Know the Windows ® XP Operating System
Lesson 10: Changing the screen saver
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
Clicking a shortcut icon opens the program or folder 
immediately. You can place as many shortcuts on your 
desktop as you find useful.
HINT: The Character Map is a useful tool when you want to add a 
special character to a document.
Lesson 10: Changing the screen saver
You can personalize the background area of your desktop 
with pictures, patterns, or colors. The background is 
considered a “property” of your desktop. This lesson will not 
only teach you how to change the background, but will also 
introduce you to properties.
The operating system treats all windows, icons, programs, 
drives, etc. as self-contained objects, each with its own set of 
properties (such as size, position on-screen, and color). Many 
of these properties can be customized to meet your particular 
needs and tastes.
DEFINITION: An object is an independent block of data, text, or 
graphics that was created by an individual application. 
This lesson introduces object properties by showing you how 
to change one of the properties of the desktop—the screen 
saver. This is a continuously changing pattern that appears on 
the screen during pauses in your work.
