A window consists of Title bar (Control Box, Title, Minimize, Maximize/Restore, Close button), Menu bar, Tool bars, Working area, Scroll Bara, Status bar. 

Taskbar

A bar usually at the bottom of Windows desktop that contain the icons of opened applications, a start button and system tray is known as taskbar.

Mouse and Mouse Actions

Mouse has a button to select and perform different action known as primary button. A mouse may have more than one button (modern mice have two or more button and a scroll wheel button). The second button on mouse that is used to open context menu or short cut menu is secondary button. Wheel can be used to scroll the window if it has vertical scroll bar.

Clicking an object three times is called triple click. It might be rare but there some operations you can perform in some applications with triple click. For example triple click on a word in MS Word selects the paragraph.

Online Test Computer Operator

The last three days left for the final examination day of Computer Operator. Now its the time for a quick revision of whatever you have learned through out these days. Hope you completed all of the topics referred in syllabus prescribed.

It would have been great, but I could not. I was assigned for field work all of a sudden and in the prime time had to remain away from Internet Acccess. I’d planned to complete entering all of the old question papers and allow you to test your skills online to give you some general idea about your standing.

Number of Keys in XT, AT and Enhanced Keyboard

When I started teaching Computer Science in High Schools, the widely used text book for the subject was R. C. Khanal’s Computer Concept published by Ekata Books Distributors Pvt.
