CHAPTER 2: Using Windows

Adding icons to the desktop

You may want to add an icon (shortcut) to the desktop for a program that you use

frequently.

To add icons to the desktop:

1 Click (Start), then click All Programs.

2 Right-click (press the right touchpad button) the program that you want to add

to the desktop.

3 Click Send To, then click Desktop (create shortcut). A shortcut icon for that

program appears on the desktop.

Identifying window items

When you double-click the icon for a drive, folder, file, or program, a

window

opens

on the desktop. This example shows the Local Disk (C:) window, which opens after

you double-click the Local Disk (C:)

icon in the

and controls. Most windows include these items:
