Conquering Clutter:Organizing Desktop Documents

WIN 2.02 Students may be interested in the evolution of user interfaces. Early interfaces were command-line, or command-driven, interfaces like DOS. Users communicated with the computer by typing specific commands. Some experienced computer users still feel this is the most efficient interface, but it requires users to memorize commands and the syntax (rules) that must be followed when they are entered. Menu-driven interfaces improved on command-line interfaces by eliminating the need to memorize commands and syntax. Users were offered menus, or lists, of commands from which they could choose. Menus still are a part of graphical user interfaces (GUI). The GUI was introduced with Apple’s Lisa computer in 1983. The Lisa was not commercially successful (it was very expensive), but the GUI returned on the Apple Macintosh in 1984 and quickly became known as the easiest interface to learn and use. Because Microsoft’s DOS was very popular – it was used by a large majority of personal computers worldwide – some analysts were surprised when Microsoft released their first GUI, Windows, modeled after the Apple Macintosh operating system.

Project 2 Lesson Plan WIN 2.3


Yet, Bill Gates, Microsoft’s CEO, was convinced that GUIs represented the future of personal computing.GUIs do have their critics. As the project preface suggests, an effective GUI is difficult to design. Susan Kare is not a programmer, but her impact on the modern graphical user interface has been substantial. Kare is responsible for many of the icons used in modern graphical interfaces. According to Forbes magazine, “When it comes to giving personality to what otherwise might be cold and uncaring office machines, Kare is the queen of look and feel.” Some tasks are hard to represent with a picture. Yet, according to Kare, “The best icons are more like traffic signs than graphic illustrations.” Even the best GUIs can employ a mind-boggling number of icons, which are occasionally difficult to interpret. Windows XP addresses this complaint with ToolTips and helpful messages on the status bar. The consistent behavior of GUIs also helps users become familiar with the meaning of various icons. Detractors insist, however, that GUIs demand an extra level of thought from users who, after deciding what they want done, must translate the action into the appropriate icon. The advantages and disadvantages of GUIs can be an engaging discussion topic. Challenge students to think of ways that GUIs can be improved, or what type of interface (perhaps voice-input) will be popular in the future.



I. Introduction WIN 2.04 Consider the advantages of being able to accomplish a task in a variety of ways. Because working with Windows XP parallels working at a traditional desktop, Windows XP often is called intuitive. Have students list some of the things done on a traditional desktop – write documents, create folders, put documents in folders, store folders, have coffee, and so on. Note that many of these tasks (except having coffee) are completed in this project on the Windows XP desktop. Define Notepad. Notepad is used to create small text files (smaller than 64K) that do not require formatting. Use Figure 2-1 to describe the documents created in this project. Review the Case Perspective.

II. Creating a document by launching an application program

WIN 2.06 Define program, application program, word processing program, spreadsheet program, and presentation graphics program. System software (such as Windows XP) consists of programs related to controlling the operations of computer hardware, while application software (such as Notepad) consists of programs designed to accomplish a specific task. Mention other application programs with which students may be familiar. Discuss More About Application Programs. Remind students how an application program was launched using the Start menu in Project 1. Point out that Notepad is the application program used in this project. Notepad saves documents in ASCII (text-only) format. Therefore, Notepad



is appropriate only for small documents without formatting. Larger documents that require formatting can be created with WordPad, which also is included with Windows XP (see the Accessories submenu in Figure 2-2). Describe the application-centric approach. Use Figures 2-2 and 2-3 to illustrate launching a program and creating a document. Consider Other Ways to launch a program. Identify the insertion point in Figure 2-3. Explain that Windows XP automatically adds the Notepad command to the most frequently used items list on the Start menu.

A. Saving a document on the desktop

WIN 2.07 Explain why it is important to save a document on a disk. Discuss More About Saving a Document. Students may have their own tales about losing a document because it was not saved. As a rule of thumb, experts suggest a document be saved whenever it would be inconvenient to redo all of the work done since the last save. Use Figure 2-7 to point out the icon that displays when a document is saved on the desktop. Characterize a file name. List invalid characters and names. Mention that Notepad documents are text documents (see the Save as type text box in Figure 2-5) and saved with a .txt extension. Use Figures 2-4 through 2-7 to describe saving a document on the desktop. Discuss More About Menus on page WIN 2.10. Note that an hourglass icon displays whenever time is needed to accomplish a task.



In Figure 2-7, point out the file name button on the taskbar and tell how to display the entire button name. Explain how to save a file on a hard or floppy disk.

B. Printing a document from an application program

WIN 2.10 Use Figures 2-8 and 2-9 to describe printing a document from an application program. Characterize the General sheet in the Print dialog box shown in Figure 2-9. Consider Other Ways to print a document from an application program. Discuss More About Printing.

C. Closing a document WIN 2.11 Use Figure 2-10 to explain closing a document. Discuss Other Ways to close a document.

III. Creating and naming a document on the desktop

WIN 2.12 Compare the document-centric approach to the application-centric approach used to create the first document. Discuss More About Document-Centric. The document-centric approach lets users concentrate on the end they want to reach, instead of the means to that end. Encourage students to think of activities in their daily lives in which they use a document-centric approach, focusing on what needs to be done instead of on how to do it. Students might be asked to consider which approach is more natural – document-centric, which can be compared to putting a sheet of paper on the desktop, or application-centric, which might be compared to selecting a writing implement. It is important to recognize that the approach chosen is a matter of personal preference. Use Figures 2-11 and 2-12 to illustrate creating a blank document



on the desktop. Point out the icon title text box in Figure 2-12. Note that when text is highlighted in a text box, any characters typed will replace the highlighted text. Discuss More About Creating Blank Documents on the Desktop on page WIN 2.13.

A. Naming a document WIN 2.13 Use Figure 2-13 to describe naming a document on the desktop. If students accidentally press the ENTER key before naming the document, they can use a method suggested in Other Ways to name the document.

B. Entering data into a blank document on the desktop

WIN 2.14 Point out that the document created contains no data and must be opened before data can be entered. Use Figures 2-14 and 2-15 to explain opening a document on the desktop. Discuss Other Ways to open a document on the desktop. Students should recall double-clicking an icon to open a window from Project 1. This shows the consistency of Windows XP. Use Figure 2-16 to describe entering data into a blank document on the desktop.

C. Closing and saving a document

WIN 2.16 Remind students how the earlier Notepad document was saved. Discuss More About Saving a Document. Use Figures 2-17 and 2-



user-friendly character of Windows XP, helping users avoid mistakes.

IV. Storing documents in the My Documents folder

WIN 2.17 Point out the many operations that can be performed on a document after it has been created on the desktop. Define the My Documents folder. Discuss the advantages of having a single storage location for documents. Discuss More About My Documents.

A. Moving multiple documents to the My Documents folder

WIN 2.17 Point out that once documents are created, the next step usually is to place documents in the My Documents folder. Use Figures 2-19 through 2-22 to illustrate moving multiple documents to the My Documents folder. Discuss Other Ways to move multiple documents to the My Documents folder.

B. Opening the My Documents folder

WIN 2.19 Discuss More About The My Documents Folders. Use Figure 2-23 to describe opening the My Documents folder. Discuss Other Ways to open the My Documents folder. In Figure 2-23, define the layout of the My Documents folder and point out the other folders included with My Documents.

C. Arranging the icons in the My Documents window

WIN 2.20 Use Figure 2-23 to define Tiles view and Large Icons format. Discuss some of the other methods of sequencing and arranging the icons in a window. Explain that grouping the icons by file type is a two-step process; first by group, then by type. Use Figures 2-24 and 2-25 to illustrate arranging the icons in a folder in groups. Discuss Other Ways to arrange icons in a folder in groups. Use



Figures 2-26 and 2-27 to illustrate arranging the icons in a folder by file type. Discuss Other Ways to arrange the icons in a folder by file type.

D. Creating a folder in the My Documents folder

WIN 2.23 Compare a Windows XP folder to a traditional folder used with paper documents. Before a document can be placed in either type of folder, the folder must be created and should be named. Use Figures 2-28 and 2-29 to explain creating and naming a folder in the My Documents folder. Discuss Other Ways of creating and naming a folder in the My Documents folder.

E. Moving documents into a folder

WIN 2.24 Point out that once a folder is created, the next step usually is to place documents in the folder. Use Figures 2-30 through 2-32 to illustrate moving a document into a folder. Discuss Other Ways to move a document into a folder.

V. Creating folder shortcuts WIN 2.26 Define shortcut. Discuss More About Shortcut Icons. Shortcuts are the same as icons in Windows 3.1. Icons in folders or on the Windows XP desktop, however, are not the same as shortcuts.

A. Adding a shortcut on the Start menu

WIN 2.26 Explain why shortcuts are added to the Start menu. Use Figures 2-33 through 2-35 to illustrate adding a shortcut on the Start menu. Consider Other Ways to add a shortcut on the Start menu. Point out that shortcuts to other items such as programs, Web pages, or other computers can be added to the Start menu in a similar manner.



B. Opening a folder using a shortcut on the Start menu

WIN 2.28 Use Figures 2-36 and 2-37 to describe opening a folder using a shortcut on the Start menu. Discuss Other Ways to open a folder using a shortcut on the Start menu.

C. Removing a shortcut from the Start menu

WIN 2.29 When a document no longer will be used frequently, it makes sense to remove the document shortcut from the Start menu. Discuss More About Removing Shortcuts. Use Figures 2-38 and 2-39 to explain removing a shortcut from the Start menu. In Windows XP, any documents created are added to the My Recent Documents submenu. They can be opened by pointing to My Recent Documents on the Start menu and then clicking the desired document name on the My Recent Documents submenu. The My Recent Documents submenu can be cleared by right-clicking the taskbar, clicking Properties on the shortcut menu, clicking the Start Menu tab in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, and then clicking the Customize button. When the Customize Start Menu dialog box displays, click the Advanced tab, and then click Clear List.

D. Creating a shortcut on the desktop

WIN 2.30 Point out that shortcuts can be created directly on the desktop. Use Figures 2-40 and 2-41 to describe creating a shortcut on the desktop. Explain how a shortcut is identified. Discuss Other Ways to create a shortcut on the desktop.

VI. Opening and modifying documents within a folder

WIN 2.31 Compare modifying a document in a folder on the desktop to modifying documents stored on the desktop. Discuss More About Working



with Documents.

A. Opening a folder using a shortcut on the desktop

WIN 2.32 Use Figure 2-42 to describe opening a document using a shortcut on the desktop. Point out the color of the window title bar and the indented button on the taskbar. Discuss the value of shortcuts. Have students compare the advantages of a shortcut on the desktop to a shortcut on the Start menu. Consider Other Ways to open a folder using a shortcut on the desktop.

B. Opening and modifying a document stored in a folder

WIN 2.32 Use Figures 2-43 and 2-44 to describe opening and modifying a document in a folder. Students should see how the title bars and the buttons in the taskbar button area are different for active and inactive windows. Discuss Other Ways to open and modify a document in a folder.

C. Opening multiple documents

WIN 2.34 Define multitasking. A computer’s CPU is capable of performing only one instruction at a time, but the speed at which instructions are executed and the capability of Windows XP to instantaneously switch back and forth between programs make it appear as if programs are running concurrently. The Macintosh operating system is a cooperative multitasking system, meaning that the programs being used control CPU access. Windows, on the other hand, is a pre-emptive multitasking system that assumes complete control over which program uses the CPU and for how long, based on the task’s priority. Use Figures 2-45 and 2-46 to illustrate opening and modifying multiple documents. Consider



Other Ways to open and modify multiple documents. Discuss More About Opening Windows. Use Figure 2-47 to explain opening an inactive window. Consider Other Ways to open an inactive window.

D. Taskbar button grouping

WIN 2.36 Explain that the purpose of taskbar button grouping is to maintain an uncluttered taskbar. Use Figure 2-48 to illustrate a taskbar that has grouped five buttons into a single button.

E. Minimizing all open windows

WIN 2.37 Just as a cluttered desk can be distracting, sometimes it is difficult to work with too many windows open on the desktop. Mention that multiple open windows can limit or block the view of objects on the desktop. Define the Show the Desktop command. Use Figures 2-49 and 2-50 to illustrate minimizing all open windows. Discuss Other Ways to minimize all open windows. Tell how to open one or all minimized windows.

F. Closing multiple windows

WIN 2.38 Remind students how to close windows using the Close button on the window’s title bar. Note that open or minimized windows also can be closed using buttons on the taskbar. Discuss More About Closing Windows. Use Figures 2-51 through 2-54 to describe closing open windows and saving changes from the taskbar. Consider Other Ways to close open windows and save changes from the taskbar. Like previous Windows versions, Windows XP has true multitasking capabilities. Earlier versions of Windows sometimes were called



switchers that swapped programs into and out of main memory to allow smooth transitions.

G. Printing a document from within a folder

WIN 2.40 Note that a document can be printed from within a folder without opening the document. Use Figures 2-55 through 2-57 to illustrate printing multiple documents from within a folder. Multiple documents represented by nonadjacent icons can be selected by clicking the first document icon and then holding down the CTRL key while clicking each subsequent document icon. Consider Other Ways to print multiple documents from within a folder. Students might be interested to learn that a document also can be printed by opening the Printers and Faxes folder, then dragging the document icon on top of the icon for the appropriate printer.

H. Copying a folder onto a floppy disk

WIN 2.41 Explain the importance of making copies of important documents and folders. Define backup. A backup is similar to an insurance policy – with luck, it never will be needed, but it sure helps if disaster strikes. Folders also are copied onto a floppy disk so that they can be used on another computer, such as a portable computer. Use Figures 2-58 and 2-59 to show copying a folder on the desktop onto a floppy disk. Consider Other Ways to copy a folder onto a floppy disk. Point out how to stop the copying process. Discuss More About The Send To Command and More About Backups, both on page WIN 2.43.

I. Opening a folder on a floppy disk

WIN 2.43 Ask students why it might be desirable to open folders stored on floppy disk. Use



Figures 2-60 through 2-62 to illustrate opening a folder stored on a floppy disk. Remind students how to open a document in a folder. Consider Other Ways to open a folder stored on a floppy disk.

J. Deleting shortcuts, files, and folders

WIN 2.45 List the four techniques that can be used to delete documents and folders. Emphasize the importance of being careful when deleting an item. Explain the difference when you delete a shortcut and delete an icon. Describe the Recycle Bin. Use Figures 2-63 and 2-64 to illustrate deleting a shortcut from the desktop. Consider Other Ways to delete a shortcut from the desktop. Explain how to restore deleted items until the Recycle Bin is emptied. Students may want to double-click the Recycle Bin icon to examine the Recycle Bin window. When the Details section is expanded, it displays the size, file type and other information of each item in the Recycle Bin. In addition to restoring deleted shortcuts, documents, or application programs, File menu commands can be used to show properties of deleted items, permanently delete individual items, and empty the Recycle Bin to free up hard disk space.

K. Deleting multiple files

WIN 2.46 Use Figures 2-65 through 2-67 to illustrate deleting multiple files from a folder. This method, of course, also can be used to delete individual files. To display the Confirm Multiple File Delete dialog box (if it does not display), right-click the Recycle Bin icon, click Properties on the shortcut menu, click



the Global tab in the Recycle Bin Properties dialog box, click the Display delete confirmation dialog box check box, and click the OK button. Discuss Other Ways to delete multiple files from a folder.

L. Deleting a folder from the My Documents folder

WIN 2.47 Point out that folders also can be deleted. Use Figures 2-68 and 2-69 to explain deleting a folder from the My Documents folder. Consider Other Ways to delete a folder from the My Documents folder. Review the three methods used to delete an object. The first method may be the safest because it offers two obvious opportunities – Cancel on the shortcut menu and the No button in the Confirm File Delete dialog box (if it displays) – to change your mind. Tell how to return an icon to the desktop immediately after it is deleted.

VII. Working with user accounts

WIN 2.49 Define computer administrator. Explain that the administrator is responsible for creating a user account for each new computer user. Define user account. Explain the purpose of having a user account. Define permissions as being certain privileges granted to each user who logs on to the computer. Use Table 2-1 to explain the different account types and associated permissions. Explain the differences between a domain and a workgroup. Discuss .NET Passport.

A. Passwords WIN 2.50 Point out that a limited user is able to create or change a password for an account. Define password. Explain the meaning of case-



sensitive. Discuss More About Passwords. Discuss the purpose of a password hint.

B. Changing a password WIN 2.50 Point out the permissions associated with a limited account. Use Figures 2-70 through 2-73 to illustrate changing a password. Discuss More About Password Reset Disks.

C. Changing a user picture

WIN 2.53 Use Figures 2-74 through 2-77 to describe how to change a user picture.

D. Switching between user accounts

WIN 2.54 Explain Fast User Switching and that it is not necessary to log off from the computer before switching users. Discuss More About Fast User Switching. Use Figures 2-79 through 2-81 to illustrate switching between user accounts.

E. Logging off from the computer and turning off the computer

WIN 2.57 Review Steps 1 through 3 to log off the guest account from the computer. Figure 2-82 shows the Welcome screen after Windows XP logs off the Guest account. Review Steps 1 through 4 on page WIN 2.58 to log off from the computer. Use Figure 2-83 to point out that the Logged On message no longer displays. Review Steps 1 through 3 on page WIN 2.58 to turn off the computer.

VIII. Project summary WIN 2.59 Briefly review the material presented in this project. Discuss the Case Perspective Summary.

IX. What you should know WIN 2.59 Encourage students to use this section in preparing for tests and quizzes.

X. Learn it online WIN 2.60 Direct the students to the scsite.com/winxp/exs.htm Web site for exercises pertaining to the material presented



in this project. These exercises review some of the major concepts presented in this project and give students the opportunity to explore computer use outside the classroom.

XI. Use Help WIN 2.61 These exercises challenge students to use Windows Help to learn more about working with Windows XP. Exercises 1 and 2 can be reviewed and assigned at this time.

XII. In the lab WIN 2.64 These exercises provide students with practice in using the skills developed in this project. Exercises 1 through 4 can be reviewed and assigned at this time.

XIII. Cases and places WIN 2.71 These seven exercises offer students the opportunity to learn more about Windows XP through open-ended activities with varying degrees of difficulty. Students can be assigned one or more exercises, or allowed to choose the exercises in which they are most interested.
