Where to find the desktop in the computer?
There are two ways you can access the desktop, at the bottom of your screen there should be a taskbar with "Start" and then the middle of the taskbar will either be empty or full of programmes you currently have open and then to the right there is an arrow with mini icons of the programmes you have open and the time.Using your mouse, right click an empty space in the middle part of the task bar, a white box will pop up with a list of options 'Toolbars' 'Cascade Windows' 'Tyle Windows Horizontally' 'Tyle Windows Vertically' 'Show The Desktop' 'Task Manager' 'Lock The Taskbar' 'Properties'. Left click 'Show The Desktop' when you have clicked this you will see that everything you have open will have minimized and it will take you straight to the desktop. If you don't have anything open and there isn't anything to minimize, the icons on your desktop will just refresh.(This option wont take you directly to your desktop, but will bring up a folder with all the programmes stored on your desktop inside) If you go to 'Start' on your taskbar, left clicking on this with your mouse will bring up a list of programmes, within them there should be a'Run...' option, click it once and a small box will pop up in the left hand corner where you can type in anything you want easy access to, in the white space provided where it says 'Open:', type in 'Desktop'and click the ok button below it. This will open up a folder with all the contents of your desktop inside.Hope this helps.

The standard windows user interface is called what?
It's called the GUI, (pronounce "gooey"..hehe I like that !!) which stands for Graphical User Interface. It's all the neat windows that you can open, close, drag, minimize, and click and type in. It's what makes any operating system (not just Windows) usable. In Windows the GUI process is called Explorer.exe.When you click CTL-ALT-DEL and view the task-manager, and view the processes, it's the one process you DON'T want to kill! LOL!
