Lesson-9

TO KNOW OPERATING SYSTEM

Windows OS

The screen that you see when your computer has finished starting up is called the desktop. Depending on what kind of operating system you have, the desktop will look different, but it generally consists of menus at the bottom, top, and/or sides of the screen, with the rest of the screen containing a desktop background (or wallpaper).

When you're done using your computer, it's important to shut it down properly. Depending on your operating system, the exact procedure for shutting down will vary.

To Shut Down Windows 7 or Vista:

Click the Start button and then select the Shutdown button (or the power button icon in Vista). You can also click the arrow to the right of the Shutdown button for more options.
