18Chapter 3: Windows Basicswww.gateway.comAbout the Windows environmentAfter your computer starts, the first screen you see is the Windows desktop. The desktop is like the top of a real desk. Think of the desktop as your personalized work space where you open programs and perform other tasks.Your desktop may be different from the example shown below, depending on how your computer is set up.Desktop itemsIcons are graphic representations of objects on the desktop that you select and open, such as a drive, folder, file, or program. Buttons are graphic representations of controls that you use to open windows or apply changes.DescriptionThe My Computer icon provides access to drives and other computer controls. Double-click the My Computer icon to view the drives and folders on your computer.My Documents is a folder where you store your personal files. You can create other folders to save files in, but My Documents is easy to find because it is on the desktop. Double-click My Documents to view your personal files and folders.The Recycle Bin is where files, folders, and programs that you discarded are stored. You must empty the Recycle Bin to permanently delete them from your computer. For instructions on how to use the Recycle Bin, see “Deleting files and folders” on page 22.Microsoft Internet Explorer is a program called a browser that lets you view Web sites and Web pages on the Internet. Double-click this icon to open the browser.The America Online Included icon lets you connect to the America Online ISP (Internet Service Provider).Double-click the America Online Included icon to dial the service.Gateway has provided an easily accessible interactive guide called HelpSpot. This guide is designed to provide help information and let you quickly discover and use the features of your computer. Double-click the HelpSpot icon to begin.
19About the Windows environmentwww.gateway.comWindow itemsWhen you double-click the icon for a drive, folder, files, or program, a window opens on the desktop. This example shows the Local Disk (C:) window, which opens after double-clicking the Local Disk (C:) icon in the My Computer window.Every program window looks a little different because each has its own menus, icons, and controls. Most windows include these items:The Start button provides access to programs, files, help for Windows and other programs, and computer tools and utilities.Click the Start button, then open a file or program by clicking (selecting) an item on the menu that opens.DescriptionThe title bar is the horizontal bar at the top of a window that shows the name of the program.Clicking the minimize button reduces the active window to a button on the taskbar. Clicking the program button in the taskbar opens the window again.Clicking the maximize button expands the active window to fit the entire screen. Clicking the maximize button again restores the window to its former size.Clicking the close button closes the active window or program.Clicking an item on the menu bar starts an action such as Print or Save.Description
20Chapter 3: Windows Basicswww.gateway.comUsing the Start menuYou can start programs, open files, customize your system, get help, search for files and folders, and more using the Start menu.To open the Start menu:■Click the Start button on the lower left of the Windows desktop. The Start menu opens showing you the first level of menu items.When you move the mouse pointer over any menu item that has an arrow next to it, another menu, or submenu, opens and reveals related files, programs, or commands. Click a file or program to open it.Working with files and foldersYou can organize your files and programs to suit your preferences much like you would store information in a file cabinet. You can store these files in folders and copy, move, and delete the information just as you would reorganize and throw away information in a file cabinet.About drivesDrives are like file cabinets because they hold files and folders. A computer almost always has more than one drive. Each drive has a letter, usually Local Disk (C:) for the hard drive and 3½ Floppy (A:) for the diskette drive. You may also have more drives such as a CD drive.To view the drives on your computer: ■Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.To see the files and folders on a drive: ■Double-click the drive icon. If you do not see the contents of a drive after you double-click its icon, click View the entire contents of this drive.HelpSpot For more information on working with files and folders, double-click the HelpSpot icon on your desktop.
21Working with files and folderswww.gateway.comAbout folders and filesFolders are much like the folders in a file cabinet. They contain files and other folders.Files are much like paper documents—letters, spreadsheets, and pictures—that you keep on your computer. In fact, all information on a computer is stored in files.To create a folder:1Double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop. The My Computer window opens.2Double-click the drive or folder, for example 3½ Floppy (A:) or Local Disk (C:), where you want to put the new folder.The drive or folder window opens. If you do not see the contents of the drive or folder, click View the entire contents of [this drive or this folder].3Select File, then New, then Folder. The new folder is created.4Type a name for the folder, then press ENTER. The new folder name appears under the folder.Copying and moving files and foldersThe skills you need to copy and move files are copying, cutting, and pasting.When you copy and paste a selection, you place a copy of the file you selected on the Windows clipboard, which stores it. Then, when you decide what folder you want the copy to go in (the destination folder), you paste it there.When you cut and paste a selection, you remove the file from its folder and place the file on the Windows clipboard. When you decide where you want the file to go, you paste it there.Important The clipboard stores whatever you cut or copy until you cut or copy again. Then the clipboard contains the new information only. Therefore, you can paste copies of a file into more than one place, but as soon as you copy or cut a file again, the old file is deleted from the clipboard.
22Chapter 3: Windows Basicswww.gateway.comTo copy a file or folder to another folder:1Right-click the file or folder that you want to copy. A menu opens on the desktop.2Select Copy from the menu.3Open the destination folder.4With the pointer inside the destination folder, press the right mouse button.5Select Paste. A copy of the file or folder appears in the new location.To move a file or folder to another folder:1Right-click the file or folder that you want to move. A menu opens on the desktop.2Select Cut from the menu.3Open the destination folder.4With the pointer inside the destination folder, press the right mouse button.5Select Paste. The file or folder you moved appears in its new location and is removed from its old location.Deleting files and foldersWhen you throw away paper files and folders, you take them from the file cabinet and put them in a trash can. Eventually the trash can is emptied.In Windows, you throw away files and folders by first moving them to Windows trash can, the Recycle Bin, where they remain until you decide to empty the bin.You can recover any file in the Recycle Bin as long as the bin has not been emptied.
23Working with files and folderswww.gateway.comTo delete files or folders: 1In My Computer or Windows Explorer, select the files or folders that you want to delete. For instructions on how to select multiple files and folders, see “Shortcuts” on page 27.2Click File, then Delete. Windows moves the files and folders to the Recycle Bin.To recover files or folders from the Recycle Bin:1Double-click the Recycle Bin icon. The Recycle Bin window opens listing the files and folders you have thrown away since you last emptied it.2Select the files or folders that you want to restore. For instructions on how to select multiple files and folders, see “Shortcuts” on page 27. Click File, then Restore. Windows returns the deleted files or folders to their original locations.To empty the Recycle Bin:1Double-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop. The Recycle Bin window opens.2Click File, then Empty Recycle Bin.Windows asks you if you are sure that you want to empty the bin.3Click Yes . Windows permanently deletes all the files in the Recycle Bin.Browsing for files and foldersA file or folder that you need is rarely right on top of your Windows desktop. It is usually on a drive inside a folder that may be inside yet another folder, and so on.Windows drives, folders, and files are organized in the same way as a real file cabinet in that they may have many levels (usually many more levels than a file cabinet, in fact).
