General Symbols

1. A question mark symbol represents a question and allows you to access help or online
documentation.
2. A light bulb icon symbol represents a tip or an idea. For example, on this page, we have
several tips that can be quickly identified with the light bulb next to the word "Tip."
3. The gear symbol indicates a configuration or settings option. For example, many programs
use a gear icon for buttons that allow you to adjust a program's settings.
4. A symbol with a wrench or a wrench and screwdriver is another symbol that can be used in place
of the gear to indicate an area to adjust the settings or other options.
5. A speech bubble symbol is used in communications to indicate there is a message that
needs to be read or that someone is typing a message.
6. The check mark symbol indicates completion or that something is ok. For example, a
download dialog box may show a green check mark when the download is complete.
7. A plus symbol or a horizontal line crossing a vertical line is also a symbol used as an indication
to increase, add, move down, or zoom in on software programs and hardware devices.
8. A minus symbol or a horizontal line is a symbol used as an indication for decreasing,
removing, moving up, or zooming out on software programs and hardware devices.
9. A circle with a line through it is a symbol that represents cancel or stop and may be over the
top of another symbol.
10. A symbol with a series of boxes and jagged lines with boxes in the corners like that shown here
is a QR Code and used to store information for scanning.

11. A padlock symbol is used to represent when anything is locked or secure. For example, a
keyboard key with a lock can give you the option to lock the computer.

date related information, or schedule an event.
13. The thumbtack symbol is used to represent the ability to pin an object to the screen.

15. A symbol of a trash can or a recycle bin is a symbol used to represent deleting a file or
another object on the computer and may be a container for any deleted items.

of many web pages (including this page) the Copyright symbol or (c) may be shown to
indicate the content on the page is Copyrighted.

17. An R with a circle surrounding it is used to represent a registered mark. For example, this

WHY WE NEED TO MAINTAIN OUR COMPUTER IN GOOD CONDITION?

- the computer is crucial to keeping it secure and in good working condition. Good computer
maintenance will not only make sure the computer is running optimally but will also protect
your valuable data from cybersecurity threats. Computer maintenance is the practice of keeping
computers in a good state of repair.
 Folders - are used to organize and categorize files in your computer storage.

viruses and malware. Make sure that your antivirus has the latest update
 Backup Creating a backup of your files will give you the assurance that if something goes wrong with
your file, you can still retrieve a duplicate of your file from your backup storage.
