Access information using computer

Introduction to Windows
Before the development of the modern Windows, which uses GUI (Graphical
User Interface), there is an interface that is used by the old generation of operating
system that is the CLI (command – line Interface) which was introduced in the early
1980’s. This interface requires to key in commands or instruction in a line format,
wherein you have to remember commands and how to use it properly.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) uses a user – friendly environment, it also uses
pictures or graphics called icons. Icons represent tasks and commands in graphical
form for it to be easily remembered. Another innovation of the window is using a
pointing device, the mouse, that you can select, point, and activate commands.
Here is the list of the Early Windows Development and their release dates up
to the latest
a. Windows 1.0 – November 1985
b. Windows 2.0 – December 1987
c. Windows 3.0 – 1990
d. Windows 95 – August 24, 1995
e. Windows 98 – June 25, 1998
f. Windows Me – September 14, 2000
g. Windows XP – October 25, 2001
h. Windows Vista – November 30, 2006
i. Windows 7 – July 22, 2009
j. Windows 8 – October 26, 2012
k. Windows 8.1 – October 17, 2013
l. Windows 10 – September 30, 2014

The Windows 10 Environment and Parts

A. Desktop – is the entire space in your monitor. You can see the whole set – up
of the monitor. It contains the icons, wallpaper, start button, task bar, system
tray and the mouse pointer.

B. Icons – are the graphical representation of a file, folder or program being used
in Windows. These icons can be activated or you can select it by a simple click
with the mouse.
 The most common icons that you can see on the desktop are:

Icon Function
My Computer
– tells everything about your computer. When you
double click it will lead you to the file explorer window,
where you can see all the drives, folders, files and
programs that your computer has.

Recycle Bin
- serves as the trash can / waste basket of your
computer. Your erased / deleted files and folder can
be found here. You can also temporary or
permanently delete files and folders.

C. Wallpaper – This serves as the background of the desktop. You can

customize your wallpaper by clicking “Personalize” and choose
“Background”.
D. Mouse Pointer – is an arrow shaped pointer that is controlled by the mouse.
Every time you move the mouse the pointer also follows.
E. Start Menu – it contains the programs that are installed in your computer. It
is divided into two parts or the two sides. The left side includes the five
elements, the user name, documents, picture, settings and power. The left
side contains the series of tiles that are called the live tile. Each tile opens
the corresponding program, not only a launcher but also a dashboard on the
start menu.
 As seen on the figure, five elements can be found on the left side. The
uppermost is the user account, that contains the picture of the user. The picture is also
a pop-up menu and its commands enables you to switch from one account to another.
Upon clicking the user account, this will direct you to another set of settings that
includes: sign out – logging off the user account windows closes all open programs
and documents. It then presents a new Login screen; lock – going back to the lock
screen; and change account settings – that will take you directly to the settings dialog
box, where you can change your account picture, password, log in method and other
details of your account. Next is the Document - when you select this will open the
documents folder, where you saved your files and document in your pc. Picture –this
is where saved pictures are saved, settings - this controls all the settings of the
computer. Power - control the power setting of the computer that includes, sleep,
restart and shut down.

F. Task bar - this contains all the files and programs that are open.

G. System tray – contains the date and time, sound icon and some programs that
are running in the background.

Keyboard care and maintenance

Keyboards are perhaps the most badly treated part of a computer. For it to last
longer try these tips on how to take care of it.

1. Regularly clean your keyboard. Cleaning your keyboard is a must. You can
use a brush of a blower to clean the keyboard from dust and food particles that are
sometimes stuck in between the keys.

2. Avoid spilling water on it. The keyboard is not water proof therefore we must
try to avoid corrosion of the parts inside the keyboard and malfunctioning. if water is
accidentally spilled on it, unplug the keyboard from the computer. Turn it over and
gently tap the water out.

3. Press the keys gently. Try to press the keys as soft as you can. It helps in
prolonging the character prints on the keys themselves. This type of typing is well-
known as touch typing. It also helps a lot in increasing your typing speed.
