121 Getting to Know the Windows® XP Operating System Lesson 12: Removing objects from the desktop 4 Click the Time zone drop-down list box and set your time zone. 5 Click OK. There is a third tab, Internet Time, which when selected allows you to have Windows® XP automatically synchronize your time. However, you need to be connected to the Internet for this function to work. Continue with the next lesson to finish cleaning up the desktop. Lesson 12: Removing objects from the desktop Earlier in this tutorial, you created a new icon on the desktop. Since everything you have done to this point has been just practice, you may want to return the desktop back to its original uncluttered state. This lesson explains how to remove objects from the desktop and introduces the Recycle Bin. 1 Click the New Folder icon you created, drag it until it is over the Recycle Bin icon and it changes color, then release the primary button. The icon disappears. But it is not really gone. It is merely set aside in the Recycle Bin so that you can restore or delete it later. 2 Repeat step 1 for any other icons you created during this tutorial. Each icon disappears as you drop it on the Recycle Bin. 3 Double-click the Recycle Bin icon. The operating system opens the Recycle Bin window. Notice that all the icons you dropped on the Recycle Bin are listed.
