4. What is Desktop ?

A  desktop may refer to any of the following: 

1.  A desktop is a term commonly used to describe a desktop computer or            system unit.
2.  When referring to an operating system or GUI (graphical user interface),   the desktop is a system of organization of icons on a screen.                                                

 * Content of the desktop :

      The basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case,monitor, keyboard,               mouse, and power cord.

* Difference between desktop and laptop :

      A Desktop stays in the office or home and needs the computer terminal to be               connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse; whereas the Laptop has

 the built-in components and thus easily transported as one complete device that

 can be used in most environments.

What is Computer Desktop Icon ?

       An icon on your computer screen represents an object or a program on your hard drive. Icons are one of the fundamental features of the graphical user interface (GUI). 

      For example, the folders you see on your desktop or in open

 windows are icons. The files that you see in those folders are also icons.
