You can create a new desktop icon for any folder, file, or
program by dragging the element’s icon from its location in a
window to the desktop area.
The icons initially displayed on your system desktop include:
Toshiba Access—Opens a window with links to software
updates, services and support, and other important benefits.
Recycle Bin—Holds files you have deleted using the
Windows Explorer. You may retrieve these files until you
empty the Recycle Bin.
TECHNICAL NOTE: If you delete a file from a diskette, it does
not go into the Recycle Bin. For more information on the
Recycle Bin, see Windows

online Help.
Internet Explorer—The Microsoft
®
browser allows you to
view web pages when connected to the Internet.
If you place the cursor over an icon, a popup description of the
file contents appears.
Your desktop may contain other icons depending on your
configuration. See Windows

XP online Help and Support
