1. The •When I delete a file or folder, it doesn't actually get deleted right away it goes

That's why I can use Skype on whatever works best for me whether in

APPLICATION

•As we know that if your laptop is Windows it uses icons to graphically represent items, such
as programs and folders. This is part of Windows GUI, or graphical user interface. Icons
appear everywhere throughout Windows, and are really just pictures that depict the type of
items they represent. The Windows desktop contains a range of desktop icons. Many of
these icons are known as shortcuts or links to frequently-used programs, folders and files.
You can save quite a bit of time and reduce the number of mouse clicks in a day by creating
desktop shortcuts for frequently-used programs. Shortcuts to programs, files and folders can
be added easily to the desktop, as well as arranged, moved and removed. You should also
clean up your desktop from time to time when it becomes too cluttered. And the icons also
to the left represent shortcuts to various programs.
