152 Getting to Know the Windows ® XP Operating System
Lesson 10: Changing the screen saver
5.375 x 8.375 ver 3.1
The operating system 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.
1 Move the pointer to an empty area of the desktop, then
click the secondary button.
The operating system displays the desktop shortcut
menu.
2 Click Properties.
The operating system opens the Display Properties dialog
box.
