An icon represents a folder, file, or program that can be quickly activated by double-clicking the icon.

You can create a new desktop icon for any folder, file, or program by dragging the element’s icon from its location in a window to the desktop area.

The icons initially displayed on your system desktop include:

TECHNICAL NOTE: If you delete a file from a diskette or flash media, it does not go into the Recycle Bin. For more information on the Recycle Bin, see Windows® online Help.

Internet Explorer®—The Microsoft® browser that provides access to the Internet.

Windows Media® Player—Plays and organizes digital media files on your computer and on the Internet.
