Getting to Know Windows Millennium Edition
Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop
Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop
The desktop is the launching pad for everything you can do in 
Windows Millennium Edition. You use its features to start 
programs, find documents, set up system components, and 
perform most other computing tasks. 
HINT: The illustrated examples in this guide may appear 
slightly different from the screens displayed by your system. 
However, the differences are not significant and do not 
indicate any change in the functionality of your system.
Finding your way around the desktop
Your computer’s desktop includes several standard features: icons, 
Start button, shortcut tray, taskbar, system tray, and the desktop 
background pattern.
Toshiba has enhanced the standard desktop with these new 
features:
Toshiba Active Menu
 provides quick and easy access to 
resources on the Web and on your computer.
To Do List provides a list of tasks Toshiba recommends you 
complete shortly after setting up your computer.
