• System Clock: It is present at the right corner of the taskbar. It displays the system's date and time.
• Show Desktop Button: It is a thin rectangular vertical bar present just after the system clock at the right corner
of the taskbar. If multiple windows are open, then, we can simply display the desktop area by placing the mouse
pointer on it. The shortcut key to display the desktop when you are working in multiple windows is Windows Key + D.
Common Desktop Operations
We can perform different types of operations on desktop. Let us learn about some of them.
Changing Wallpaper
The image or pattern that appears behind the icons on the desktop is called the ‘wallpaper’. We can easily change
this default wallpaper into personalised form by doing the following steps:
Step 1 Right click on any area of desktop. Select the Personalise option from the pop-up menu.
Step 2 Select Background option.
Step 3 Select any available picture present in the window or browse to your personal folder and select any picture.
Step 4 Click on save changes.
Step 5 Exit the window and you will see the selected picture as the new wallpaper of your desktop.
Setting Screen Saver
If a computer is not used for a specific period of time, then, some sort of text or pattern appears on the screen to
show that the processor is idle. This is known as a screen saver. The screen saver disappears as soon as a mouse
clicks or any key is pressed.
