various component of window desktop
Answers
Desktop Components
The graphical desktop environment should not pose any problems for former Windows* or Macintosh* users. The main components of the desktop are the icons on the desktop and the panel at the bottom of the screen.
Desktop icons represent files, directories, applications, functions, and removable media, like CDs or DVDs.
The desktop has the following icons by default:
Trash
Contains files and folders that have been deleted. For information about using the trash can, see Abschnitt 1.3.4, „Managing the Trash Bin“.
My Computer
Displays information about hardware, network status, operating system, hard disks, common folders, and removable devices. For more information, refer to Abschnitt 1.3.3, „Accessing Removable Media“.
Network Browsing
Displays network services you can access. Some of the services might require authentication. To learn more, refer to Kapitel 8, Accessing Network Resources.

Main Menu Icon
By default, the left end of the panel has an icon that opens the main menu (in KDE also called K menu), similar to the start button on the MS Windows desktop. The main menu has a well-ordered structure for accessing the main applications. It also contains menu items for major functions like logging out or searching for applications. For more information, see Abschnitt 1.3.1, „Accessing the Main Menu“.
Quick Launcher
Next to the main menu icon, find the quick launcher. It holds some icons for the most important functions or applications to enable you to start them without going through the main menu.
Desktop Previewer
Next to the quick launcher, find the desktop previewer, which shows your different desktops. These virtual desktops enable you to organize your work. If you use many programs simultaneously, you might want to run some programs in one desktop and other programs in the other desktop. To switch between desktops, click the desktop symbol in the panel.
Taskbar
The taskbar is located next to the desktop previewer. By default, all started applications and open windows are displayed in the taskbar, which allows you to access any application regardless of the currently active desktop. If you click a window title in the taskbar, the application is moved to the foreground. If it is already in the foreground, clicking minimizes the application.
System Tray
The rightmost part of the panel usually holds the system clock, the volume control, and several other helper applications.
