2. Examine your desktop for icons — small pictures that
represent programs, which perform functions, or
documents such as letters and photos. Icons provide
a way to run a program or open a document. The
Windows 7 desktop displays an icon for the Recycle
Bin, where deleted documents go. The Recycle Bin may
be the only icon on your desktop, or you may see others.
3. Finally, the desktop displays gadgets, which are usually
larger than icons. Gadgets display information, such as
the time (in a clock) or the current weather report. See
Chapter 5 for more about using gadgets.
