Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop
Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop
The desktop is the launching pad for everything you can do in the 
Windows
®
 Millennium Edition operating system. 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 background 
pattern.
