Chapter 1: Getting Started
Using the IRIX Interactive Desktop

Now you are ready to use the IRIX Interactive Desktop.
The IRIX Interactive Desktop and Its Icons
By default, several icons appear on your desktop: a folder icon representing your home
directory, a dumpster icon, and icons for any peripherals you installed, as shown in the
examples in Figure 1-20.
The peripheral icons show the current state of the respective devices. For example, if you
insert a music CD into the compact disc player, the icon changes. When you double-click
the icon, it opens CD Player, a utility that allows you to play music from a compact disc.
