My Documents This takes you to the folder where you will normally store documents and within that probably use the My Pictures folder for picture and photographs.
Recycle Bin When you delete an item it (generally) goes into the recycle bin. You can tell if the recycle bin has something in it by its appearance - it has 'paper' in it, otherwise it is empty as in the picture. You can recover items from the Recycle Bin as long as you haven't emptied it.
Internet Explorer This is the icon you use to connect to the Internet - it is your 'Web Browser'. From this program you can visit any of the millions of web pages out there on the Internet. You can use sites on the Internet called 'Search Engines' to find almost anything you can think of really from Amazon or Axles to Zulus and Zylophones.
Outlook Express This is your e-mail program. With this program you can send messages to anyone else around the world who has e-mail facilities, as long as you know their e-mail address. You can send pictures either within the e-mail or as attachments.
