Basic Elements of Windows 1996-11-01 When working in Windows, your main work area is the desktop. You can move items around on the desktop, add new ones to it,and remove those you do not need. The first time you start Windows, the Program Manager window appears on your screen. You can use Program Manager to organize your applications and start them. After you start an application, it runs in an application window on the desktop. You can reduce any open application window to an application icon. An application icon is a small picture representing an application. By reducing application windows to icons, you can free space on your desktop without quitting the applications.
