| | What is desktop? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
 | | (1) In graphical user interfaces, a desktop is the metaphor used to portray file systems. |
 | | Such a desktop consists of pictures, called icons, that show cabinets, files, folders, and various types of documents (that is, letters, reports, pictures). |
 | | You can arrange the icons on the electronic desktop just as you can arrange real objects on a real desktop -- moving them around, putting one on top of another, reshuffling them, and throwing them away. |
