Microsoft Windows is the operating system that runs on your
computer. Windows controls and manages your computer by
translating your mouse and keyboard instructions into a language
your computer can understand.
The Windows desktop is your personal workspace. By using the
mouse to click icons on the Windows desktop, you give your
computer instructions to perform tasks, such as accessing files,
copying files, connecting to the Internet, reading e-mail, and
more.
In this chapter, you will learn how to use the standard features of
the Windows desktop.
