THE DESKTOP ICONS

An icon is a small figure on a computer display that you use a mouse to point to and
click to command the computer.
Once you install an operating system, eg. Windows 10, an array of icons will appear on
your windows desktop screen. There are also icons which you will notice that there is a small
arrow, which this is known as links or shortcuts.
To access this icon, you can double-click on a desktop icon to launch that program,
folder or file. There are some common desktop icons which are shown below. Let’s do this!

ICONS REPRESENTATIONS
Files
The icons shown on the left represent a file. When you double-click the
icon the file will automatically open in the program to which it was
created. The picture on the left shows a notepad and an MSWord
document. You noticed that the icon has no small arrow appears,
meaning these two icons were originally created and saved in the
desktop. If the user wishes to delete or it was deleted, so actual file is
also deleted.
Folders and Disk Drives

 folder. Same as the icons like “computer shortcut”, when you double-
click this, the window explorer will allow the computer to display the

waste paper basket with the recycle symbol on it.
Recycle bin window will be launched once you double-click the icon which
will allow you to permanently delete or restore files.

icons on the left has an arrow which represents a shortcut file. So, if the
user were able to delete the shortcut, the actual program is not affected.
