Changing the Default Desktop Icons

Windows, by default, displays only the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop. You can, if you desire, instruct Windows to display a number of other icons as well. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click at some empty point on your desktop. Windows displays a Context menu.
2. Choose Personalize from the Context menu. Windows displays the Personalize dialog box.
3. Click the Change Desktop Icons link, near the upper-left of the dialog box. Windows displays the Desktop Icon Settings dialog box. (See Figure 1.)
4. At the top of the dialog box, make sure a check mark appears beside each icon you want displayed on your desktop.

5. Click OK.
