Introduction to
Icons
Icons are small graphical images that can represent your computer's
programs, files, folders and printers amongst other things (see
fig 1.1 back on Page 1 - click here to
view).
To activate the program/file/folder that an icon represents you simply
double click (two clicks in quick succession) on it with the left mouse
button, this will activate the icon and either start a program or open a
file/folder.
The icons on your desktop can be renamed by right clicking on them and
selecting rename, similarly they can be deleted by right clicking and
selecting delete.
It's possible to create your own icons for programs, files, folders, etc.
See our guide to creating desktop
shortcuts in our tips and tricks section.
In our example we have two icons, the outlook icon is for example purposes
only, by default you will usually just have the recycle bin icon
which is explained below:
Recycle Bin
When you delete a file, Windows XP will place the file into the recycle bin
instead of deleting it altogether, this allows you to restore the file in
case you deleted it by mistake. For example say you deleted a file by
accident you could double click on the recycle bin icon to see its contents,
and then restore the file back to where you deleted it from by right
clicking on it and then selecting restore from the menu that appears.
Note: some files may be too big to be stored in the recycle bin, but
Windows XP should warn you if you delete a file that cannot be restored.

We strive to keep all of the links provided up-to-date and functioning
properly, but as you can image, with the measures in which technology is
expanding, it's tough to keep current with everything. So, if you come across
a broken link (i.e., a link that is not connecting properly), please
contact us. We will investigate the issue and contact you as soon as we
can. |
