Last week, we've learned about windows most common tasks: how to open and close
a file, the click and double-click, minimize, maximize and resize a window.
This week, we get into details.
We first begin with My Computer, the most important Desktop item.
This is where everything lies: your hard drive, floppy, cd-rom, computer's main control (control Panel). All the computer resources can be accessed from My Computer -
it's the gateway to your computer.
To access My Computer, double-click on its icon.
My computer contains:
-Hard Drive(s) (c:)

-the CD-Rom
-Printers (includes your Printer icon)
-Control Panel (computer's operation room....)
