Getting to Know Windows Millennium Edition
Lesson 10: Changing the screensaver
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 screensaver
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 personalize the background, but will also introduce you to 
properties.
Windows Millennium Edition 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.
