Unit 01: INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS 

a.  What is an Operating system: Windows 

An operating system (OS)  is  software (programs and data)  that  runs on  computers and manages  the

computer  hardware and provides  common  services  for efficient execution  of  various application 

software. 

Microsoft Windows is a series of  software operating systems and graphical user 

interf aces produced by Microsoft. Microsoft  first  introduced an  operating

environment named Windows  in November 1985 as an add-on  to MS-DOS in 

response to the growing interest in graphical user interf aces (GUIs). 

b.  The Windows Environment 

The "home" skin became known as "Luna", and this refined version f eatured other UI elements, such as 

a reworked Start Menu and Control Panel and task panes in Windows Explorer, among other f eatures. It 

was shipped with Windows XP. 

The main interf ace can be characterized by the distinct MyComputer, MyDocumnets, Recycle Bin, Start 

Button and a TaskBar. 

The basic XP environment is known as Desktop, and may look like follows:

The Typical Windows Desktop

My Computer 

The icon on the desktop which shows all the hardware attached to the computer and their properties. 

MyDocuments 

The pref erred Folder (a place in the computer system) where a users all documents are typically stored. 

RecycleBin 

The Folder  in which all the unwanted  files/documents which are to be completely  removed  from  the

computer. 

The Start Button 

The control place which lets the user choose what has to be done 

The Task Bar 

The blue colored bar, typically located at the bottom of  the Desktop which shows the status of  the ma jor 

processes being run in the computer. 

c.  The Keyboard 

In computing, a keyboard is an input device, partially modeled after the typewriter keyboard, which uses 

an arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. After punch cards 

and paper tape, interaction via teletype-style keyboards became the main input device for computers.

Despite the development of  alternative input devices,  such as  the mouse (computing mouse),  touch 

sensitive screens, pen devices, character recognition, voice recognition, and improvements in computer 

speed and memory size, the keyboard remains the most commonly used and most versatile device used 

for direct (human) input into computers. 

A keyboard typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys and each press of  a key  typically 

corresponds  to a single written  symbol. However,  to produce some symbols  requires pressing and 

holding several keys simultaneously or in sequence. While most keyboard keys produce letters, numbers 

or  signs (characters),  other  keys  or  simultaneous  key presses  can produce actions  or  computer 

commands. 

In normal usage, the keyboard  is used to  type text and numbers  into a word processor,  text editor or 

other program. In a modern computer, the interpretation of  key presses is generally left to the software. 

A computer keyboard distinguishes each physical key from every other and reports all key presses to the

controlling software. Keyboards are also used for computer gaming, either with regular keyboards or by 

using keyboards  with  special gaming f eatures,  which  can expedite frequently  used  keystroke

combinations. A keyboard is also used to give commands to the operating system of a computer, such as 

Windows' Control-Alt-Delete combination, which brings up a task window or shuts down the machine. 

A Typical Layout of a Regular Keyboard 

d.  The Mouse and the Cursor:

A mouse is an input device which moves a pointer on the computer screen with its relative

movement on  the surf ace where it Is placed. A mouse has  two buttons which produces a

sound Click  when pressed,  thus pressing it  once is  called Click and pressing it  twice is 

known as a Double Click. The left button is used to select an item with a single click, or launch it with a

Double Click. The right button, or a Right Click lets the user choose between a menu of  choices. Some

newer versions may have a Scroll Wheel as well which is used to scroll the contents of a window up or 

down. 

Exercise: Move the pointer to various locations

is  convenient  to  make a shortcut  of  an  item  which  is accessed  frequently  so  that  it  is  not 

searched for every time it  is required. A shortcut  icon  is easily distinguished by an arrow sign 

associated with it. 

c.  The Control Panel

Unit 01-4: The Internet Explorer

a.  A

bout the Internet 

The Internet  is a global system of   interconnected  computer networks  that use the standard Internet 

Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of  users worldwide. It is a network of  networks that consists of  

millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of  local to global scope that 

are linked by a broad array of electronic and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast 

array of   information resources and services, most notably the inter-linked hypertext documents of  the

World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail. 

b.  Introduction to the Explorer:

Windows Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer;  commonly abbreviated  to IE),  is a

series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of  the Microsoft Windows 

line of  operating systems starting in 1995. The Internet Explorer is the most commonly used means for 

connecting to  the information available on  the internet, most  common of  which  is World Wide Web

(www.). 

Click on  the start button and choose Internet, or  simply double click on  the Internet Explorer on  the

Desktop. The window  somewhat similar to the following would appear:

The most important parts of  the top portion of  the Internet Explorer window contain:

a)  URL: The Universal Resource Locater the address of  the required website is typed in this 

place, the explorer redirects the connection to the given address. 

b)  A Cross Sign: The Stop button stops the transmission abruptly. 

c)  A Dual Arrow Sign: The Reload button reloads the contents of  the website under question. 

d)  A House Sign: The Home button Redirects to the home webpage. 

c.  The URL: www, WAP, http, ftp:

The URL entry, the Universal Resource Locator is the name of a website. An example of  which is as 

follows:

http://www.dadegreecollege.edu.pk 

Where:

http indicates that the website is based on Hypertext Transf er Protocol.  An ftp in 

the same place will indicate that the website contains a File Transf er Protocol. 

www indicates that the website is available on the World Wide Web. A WAP in the

same place will indicate that the website is available on Wireless Access Protocol, 

typically available on cell phones.

video and other formats. In order to get to the required information available on the internet, a typical

type website can be accessed, which are known as Search Engines. www.google.com, www.bng.com, 

www. dogpile.com and various such websites are good examples of  most widely used search engines on 

the internet. 

e.  Searching for the Desired Information:

communications of   information  on  the net.  There are web based  free servers as  well as paid emailservers. 

a.  Web Based Free Email Servers:

A web based  free email server  is  the easiest access point  through which a person can create his/her 

identity on  the Internet and communicate electronically worldwide over  the internet. Hotmail, Yahoo, 

Gmail are all examples of  web based free mail servers. 

An email address may look like: s_sira [email protected], or [email protected] 

Where s_sira j_munir and vice-principal are usernames,  the character @  indicate at and yahoo.com 

and dadegreecollege.edu.pk are the locations of  that username. 

Do remember that email addresses are password protected in order to maintain confidentiality and the

addresses as well as the passwords are case sensitive, thus, for example, Pakistan and PAKISTAN are not
