Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop

Icons

An icon represents a folder, file, or program that can be quickly
activated by double-clicking the icon.

You can create a new desktop icon for any folder, file, or program
by dragging the element’s icon from its location in a window to the
desktop area.

The icons initially displayed on your Windows
