Icon
An icon in Windows is a small picture or object that represents
a file, program, web
page, or command. Most of the time, the icon picture relates
to the function of the item that it represents.
For example, if the icon is attached to an e-mail program,
it might be a picture of a letter. Icons are located on
the desktop, in the
start menu, and
various other places.
If you are using Windows 95, 98 or 2000, you can see several
icons right now. In the upper left corner of this browser,
you should see an icon next to "Internet Explorer", "Netscape
Navigator" or whatever browser
you use.
