A desktop icon is a symbol with text under it that is displayed on the desktop. The desktop is what is displayed when you log in on most operating systems. Common desktop icons are "My Computer" "Recycle Bin" "My documents" shortcuts to programs that are installed. By double clicking on an icon you can open the folder or program related to it.
Desktop icons are the most commonly recognized icons by most people. They are used to convey purpose of an available function on a computer. On a very graphic oriented Windows environment such as Windows XP the common desktop icons you might see are "My Computer", "Recycle Bin", and various file folders with labels.
Other operating systems such as Macintosh, and Linux desktop environments like KDE also use desktop icons in much the same way but the extension, resource or file name suffix differ. Generally icons from one operating system would need to be converted to work on a different OS.

Service Pack 3 is the baseline update for customers still using Windows XP. Microsoft have elected for the latest version of Internet explorer to not be installed with Service Pack 3. If IE7 or IE6 is detected during the installation respective updates and security patches are applied to match the correct version.
How do you run Generic Cadd 6 on Win XP?
Hi;
I am already running Generic Cadd6 on XP. It's been a long time
since I set it up and I believe all I did was go to "command prompt", change directory to "C". Create directory for Cadd6 and copy the files to it. When I want to run CAdd6, I start XP...go to command prompt and then change to the cadd6 directory and type; cadd
My biggest issues were experimenting with the video and printer drivers. But, it is possible.

Should you format a new hard drive?
Depending on your hard drive. If it's a new external hard drive you should check to see if it's preformatted for your computer. For example I just bought a new LaCie drive for my Mac Powerbook. It already comes preformatted in HFS mode so I didn't have to do anything. Other external hard drives allow you to put files in a hard drive without formatting, but this can cause problems later on down the road. Some Mac who have Seagate external hard drives have reported a clicking noise and malfunctioning. I personally have had this experience as I was sharing it with a PC (Seagate doesn't recommend this). It wasn't formatted thus I couldn't put some simple stuff on the hard drive such as folders with folder icons! To format any hard drive, connect your hard drive to you Mac. Then open the disk utilities application that can be found in the utilities folder in the application folder. Select the hard drive you want to format. To find out the rest, google it. haha. I kind of forget what which button to push, but it's fairly simple. I would recommend getting specific drives for PC and Mac. You can never be too safe when backing up your information. So far my LaCie works great and is quieter than my Seagate.

What deadlock strategy is used in windows xpunixlinux operating systems?
There was, at one time, a one word answer to this question and that answer was:
ostrich
Referring to the ostrich algorithm I believe, meaning to stick one's head in the sand rather than deal with a particularly complex and bedeviling problem. In reality, there are strategies for handling deadlocks. This topic is very complexand generally not for the novice developer.
One good paper on this topic was written by Tong Li, Carla S. Ellis, Alvin R. Lebeck and Daniel J. Sorin (Department of Computer Science, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Duke University) and presented at the 2005 USENIX Annual Technical Conference in Anaheim, California.
Their paper may be found here:
http://people.ee.duke.edu/~sorin/papers/usenix05_deadlock.pdf
In practice, depending on the application, the problem may be so rare as to be hardly worth the often considerable time and effort required to construct a handler for those rare exceptions.
Anecdotally, I have encountered deadlock situations several times in the last 25 years, usually while writing applications using named pipes (FIFO), in each case I devised my own solution designed to suit the particular situation encountered. By no means a panacea, nor do I recommend this technique.
May I suggest the author of the question consider devising a universal solution for the rest of us... A general purpose, all weather solution would certainly be appreciated. :)

How do you delete xp security center?
Are you talking about the virus? I you are, then I'm not entirely sure, but what I did was I restored my computer. Restoring your computer allows you to choose a date to set your computer back to. It deletes anything might have been downloaded past that set date, including viruses. To do this, I go to start menu, all programs, accessories, system tools, and then system restore. It should tell you what to do from there. If you have something you are doing, I would suggest you e-mail it to yourself or save it online somewhere where you can instantly retreive it, because setting your somputer back two weeks will erase all activity from those two weeks.

What is semaphore in operating system?
Semaphores are devices used to help with synchronization. If multiple processes share a common resource, they need a way to be able to use that resource without disrupting each other. You want each process to be able to read from and write to that resource uninterrupted.
A semaphore will either allow or disallow access to the resource, depending on how it is set up. One example setup would be a semaphore which allowed any number of processes to read from the resource, but only one could ever be in the process of writing to that resource at a time.
