The Desktop; The Recycle Bin; Icons; The Taskbar - HP Brio 7100 User Manual

The Desktop

The desktop is where you can place various things — folders, files and shortcuts to
programs you use. It is also the place where program windows appear, such as the
HP Brio Center window.

The Recycle Bin

This is a temporary storage place for things you have deleted. It fills up with all
the things you have deleted until you decide to empty it. You can use it to find
things you might have deleted by mistake.

Icons

Icons are small graphical objects that represent a particular feature,
area or shortcut of your computer. Double-clicking on them opens
that feature. They can be dragged around the desktop, and they can be placed in the
recycle bin.

The Taskbar

By default the taskbar is at the bottom of your window. It shows you which
applications you have open — represented by a taskbar button (the taskbar below
shows that the HP Brio Center window is open).

The Start Button

This is the starting point for many things you'll want to do. When you click
on the start button a menu appears from which you can perform a
multitude of tasks — start programs, open documents, find help, search for things
on your computer, and change settings within your computer.
