                      GETTING STARTED WITH WINDOWS 7

                  Whenever you turn ON your computer,  it starts
                  booting.  This means the  operating  system gets

                  loaded in the computer’s memory and  then the
                  Windows 7 Welcome Screen appears. After a few
                  seconds, the final screen appears. This final screen
                  is called the desktop.
