A desktop may refer to any of the following:
1. A desktop is a term commonly used to describe a desktop computer or system unit.
2. When referring to an operating system or GUI (graphical user interface), the desktop is a system of organization of icons on a screen. The Microsoft Windows desktop was first introduced with Microsoft Windows 95 and included with every version of Windows since then. The image below is an example of the Microsoft Windows 7 desktop.
In this example, there are no icons on the desktop, and the wallpaper is a blue screen with the Windows 7 logo. Also, the taskbar is at the bottom of the desktop and contains the Start, taskbar icons, Windows Notification Area, and the time and date.
Tip

Tip
You can get to the Windows desktop at any time by pressing the Windows key and D at the same time or using Aero Peek.
