DESKTOP
This window shown above is called Desktop & is the graphical user interface through which the user can interact with the windows likewise with the commands in DOS.
It has icons representing about themselves that the user can easily make out its function , otherwise it has the feature that just on putting up the cursor on that icon , a dialog box appears that let us know about that icon or desktop element.
It has three default system elements and are as follows:
a) My Computer
b) My documents
c) Recycle Bin

Desktop Icon
My Computer
My Computer allows the user to explore the contents of their computer drives as well as manage their computer files.
This (above) is the standard icon for My Computer. To open this, just double click the My Computer icon, this icon is almost always located on the top left portion of the desktop and should look similar to the icon above.
If you wish to manage your computer and/or view other settings and information about your computer you can double-click the icon or right-click on the My Computer and click properties. Performing these steps will open your System Properties (the same window accessible through the Control Panel).

My Documents
The My Documents folder was first introduced as a standard location for storing user-created files. The folder located under the root of the hard drive that Windows is installed on, is displayed (but not stored) directly on the user's desktop. My Documents folder is located in the user's profile directory, as Documents and Settings\[user name]\My Documents on the same hard drive that Windows is installed on. It is important to note that "My Documents" in these operating systems is one of a number of Special Folders. A user can change the physical location of My Documents by right-clicking on the My Documents icon, choosing properties, and choosing a new path in the Target tab.
Recycle Bin
The Recycle Bin keeps some files that have been deleted, whether accidentally or intentionally. Whether a deleted file is put into the Recycle Bin depends on how it is deleted; typically only files deleted via the Explorer graphical interface (but not necessarily other Windows graphical interfaces such as file selection dialogs) will be put into the Recycle Bin; files deleted via the Command Prompt, or via operating system APIs are not. Users can review the contents of the Recycle Bin before deleting the
4 | Page
items permanently. In previous Windows operating systems and in MS-DOS, undeletion was the only way to recover accidentally deleted files. The Recycle Bin holds data that not only lists deleted files, but also the date, time and the path of those files. The Recycle Bin is opened like an ordinary Windows Explorer folder and the files are viewed similarly. Deleted files may be removed from the Recycle Bin by restoring them with a command, or by deleting them permanently.
The Recycle Bin's icon indicates whether there are items in the Recycle Bin. If there are no files or folders in the Recycle Bin, then the icon resembles an empty wastepaper basket. Otherwise if there are files and/or folders the icon resembles a full wastepaper basket.
Prior to Windows Vista, the default configuration of the Recycle Bin was to hold 10% of the total capacity of the host hard disk drive. For example, on a hard drive with a capacity of 20 gigabytes, the Recycle Bin will hold up to 2 gigabytes. If the Recycle Bin fills up to maximum capacity, the oldest files will be deleted in order to accommodate the newly deleted files. If a file is too large for the Recycle Bin, the user will be prompted to permanently delete the file instead. The maximum possible size of the Recycle Bin is 3.99 gigabytes in all versions of Windows except Vista. In Vista, the maximum is 10% for drives up to 40GB. Above that, the maximum is 4GB plus 5% of the capacity above 40GB.

Introduction to DOS
OPERATING SYSTEM
Operating system is a system software (set of programs) which acts as an interface between user and hardware. The operating system is responsible for the management and coordination of various activities and sharing of the resources of the computer. The purpose of operating system is to handle the details of the operation of the hardware. If there were no O/S, the computer would be an expensive door stop.
Command is an instruction given to computer to perform a task.
TYPES OF COMMANDS
1. INTERNAL COMMANDS2. EXTERNAL COMMANDS
INTERNAL COMMANDS: Internal commands are those commands which are already installed in the computer system. Internal commands are comes with the DOS.
EXTERNAL COMMANDS : External commands are those commands which are not already installed in the computer system. For use these commands, we first need to load the three files i.e. .EXE, .BAT, .COM. (.EXE stand for Executable file.)

Introduction to MS Word 2007
Microsoft Word is a component of widely used application software package, Microsoft Office. MS word is a word processing software based on windows operating system. It helps us in preparing all types of documents by facilitating us modifying, rectifying spelling mistakes etc. MS WORD software is based on WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) concept i.e. the document is printed exactly in the same format as it appears on the screen.
Most of the word processors start from a blank screen assumed to be a blank page with a blinking starting point known as cursor. For all practical purposes it is like a typewriter, but it is much more than that. We can type the text (even enter graphics) in the word processor, save it under a name to recall it again and again, spell check it for errors, format it to look good, and then if needed print it too. This makes it much easier for writing the text since we can make as many mistakes as we like since we can correct them by just pressing a key. This way we save a lot of paper and make the document look more neat and clean.
Typing the document can verifying the correctness of document that is displayed on the screen. If the user finds any mistakes while typing, on later he or she can easily correct that mistake. Once the user is sure that there are no mistakes in the document it may be printed.

Introduction to MS Excel 2007
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program. Like Microsoft Word, it possesses a dominant market share. It was originally a competitor to the dominant Lotus 1-2-3 but it eventually outsold it and became the de facto standard. It is available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. Its main competitors are OpenOffice.org Calc, StarOffice and Corel Quattro Pro. For advanced statistical applications SPSS provides better functionality.
The MS Excel 2007 interface brings out all the functionality of the software using tabs rather than drop-down menus. The main work area is called a spreadsheet where you can communicate your data using functions, formulas, and charts. The highlighted cell is called the active cell and is the current place where you can enter a value or a formula. We will describe the parts of the interface in the following sections.

Ribbon The Ribbon, a panel that houses the command buttons and icons,
organizes commands as a set of Tabs, each grouping relevant commands (see Fig. 2 below). Each application has a different set of tabs which expose the functionality that application offers. For example, while Excel has a tab for the Graphing capabilities, Word does not feature the same; instead it has tabs to control the formatting of a text document. Within each tab, various related options may be grouped together. The Ribbon is designed to make the features of the application more discoverable and accessible with fewer mouse clicks as compared to the menu-based UI used until Office 2007. It is not possible to remove the Ribbon or replace it with menus with the normal Office 2007 functions. However, the Ribbon can be hidden.
Additionally, the file button has been replaced by the Microsoft office sign in the upper left corner and is called the “Office Button.”
Cell number box:
A cell is a single box that is the intersection of a column and row. Each cell is named according to its column label and row number, called a cell reference. For example, the highlighted cell shown below is named cell B3. The name box is located at the top left corner of the worksheet (see arrow below) and displays the cell reference of the active cell.

PowerPoint is a presentation software program that is part of the Microsoft Office package. PowerPoint uses a graphical approach to presentations in the form of slide shows that accompany the oral delivery of the topic. With PowerPoint, you can easily create slide shows.
This program is widely used in business and classrooms and is an effective tool when used for training purposes. Trainers and other presenters use slide shows to illustrate their presentations. You create your PowerPoint presentation on slides. You use layouts to organize the content on each slide. PowerPoint has several slide layouts from which to choose. Themes are sets of colors, fonts, and special effects. Backgrounds add a colored background to your slides. You can add themes and backgrounds to your slides.
After you complete your slides, you can run your presentation.
