Exploring Your Computer’s Features
Exploring the desktop
You may see various icons displayed on your system desktop, for 
example:
Recycle Bin—Holds files you have deleted. You may be able to 
retrieve these files until you empty the Recycle Bin.
TECHNICAL NOTE: If you delete a large number of files or very 
large files from the internal storage drive, there may be 
insufficient space available in the Recycle Bin to hold these files. 
In this case, Windows
®
 will prompt you to either permanently 
delete the file(s) or cancel the deletion.
If you delete a file (of any size) from an external media or flash 
media, it does not go into the Recycle Bin. The file is 
permanently deleted.
Permanently deleted files cannot be recovered from the Recycle 
Bin. 
For more information on the Recycle Bin, see Windows
®
 online 
Help.
If you place the pointer over an icon, a popup description of the file 
contents appears.
Your desktop may contain other icons depending on your 
configuration. See Windows
®
 online Help for more specific 
information on each icon and how to use it.
Taskbar
Each time you open an application, a button associated with that 
application appears on the taskbar. With some applications, a button 
appears on the taskbar for each document or window you open. You 
can use these buttons to quickly switch between the applications or 
windows.
To make an application or window the currently active one, click 
the associated taskbar button.
Notification area
The Notification area displays icons of tasks or applications that run 
continuously in the background and displays notifications. To learn 
more about each task, position the pointer over the icon for a few 
moments and a short description of the task appears.
Typical tasks in the Notification area are Current time, Power usage 
mode, network connectivity status, and speaker volume.
