Desktop Background (Wallpaper)

                  The image in the background of the icons is called desktop background or wallpaper.
























                           The desktop also has some shortcut icons. A shortcut is a link to any item on the
                           computer, such as a program, file, folder, or printer. We just have to click on the
                           shortcut icon, and the associated program, file/folder opens up.



                  Taskbar

                  The long bar at the bottom of the desktop is called the Taskbar. It helps to manage various
                  currently  active  programs,  opened  in  different  windows.  We  can  switch  between  these

                  programs by clicking their buttons on the taskbar. It also has the Start button, Clock and
                  Opened program.

                  It is known as the gateway to Windows and its programs. It opens the Start
                  menu when we click on it.

                  Opened Programs

                  Opened  programs  are those  which  are  currently
                  running. These are located as buttons on the taskbar.
                  The taskbar also contains shortcuts to open various programs.
                  Clock

                  Clock is present on the right side of the taskbar. It displays the current date and time.

                  Even if the computer is switched off, it keeps the date and time updated automatically
                  with the help of a small battery inside.
