Before going through details, here's a short
description of each item
-My Computer: This is
where your Hard Drive(s) lies, 3.5 Floppy (a:)
the CD-Rom (the item with a CD icon)
Printers (where you have the Printer icon inside
in case you installed a Printer) Control Panel
(Computer controls, it's like your Computer
operation room, this is where
you can change colors, configure devices, install
software....)
Dial-up Networking for Internet Connection,
Scheduled Tasks
(give your
computer jobs to perform when you're out)
My Computer is the portal to everything in your
Computer.
-My Documents: This is
where you store all your personal stuff like files,
anything you create with your computer. Don't
worry you can put your things somewhere else. Think of My Documents as
your Desktop drawer where you can put your papers....
-Recycle Bin:
Microsoft worries about the environment so it
recycles
everything ! The Recycle Bin is the Trash basket,
when you wanna get rid of a paper/file you can
throw it there, you can easily restore anything
you trash.
-Internet Explorer: Perhaps
you will be reading this tutorial using Internet
Explorer, it's a piece of software called a
browser that comes with Windows for FREE, let you
explore the Internet.
This icon will not appear unless the software is
installed.
You might have another icon like "Connection
Wizard" that will help you configure your computer to access the Internet.
-Network Neighborhood: When you
connect two or more computers together you obtain
a Network, with Network Neighborhood you can
share what's on every computer, you can go into
the second computer just by clicking on its name.
If you're a home user, you will not be interested
in this feature, later on we will learn how to
eliminate it off the desktop.
-Online Services: If
someone is not already connected to the Internet,
he can subscribe to companies like CompuServe,
AOL, Prodigy, MSN to get online.
