This here (above) is Widnows Explorer. Oh wait, no it's not. It's Windows Explorer. Anyway, using Windows Explorer, one can Explore Windows. Hence the name.
You may have noticed a few things in Explorer. Let's look at the Recycle Bin first. No, before that, let's get the bit about the Spirit Of Elvis out of the way. Now, onto the Recycle Bin.
The Recycle Bin is where the files you delete go. So, although when you click on "delete" you want the files to vanish away as though they never existed, nice kind considerate Windows keeps hold of them in the Recycle Bin. This is what the Recycle Bin looks like when there are no files inside it:
Aww look, it's like a little wheely bin!
As long as you have that icon on your desktop, your computer isn't using up precious memory space by keeping all the files you deleted in order to save memory. But if you see this icon on your desktop:
Still the little wheely bin, but it has files in it! Isn't that cute?
then that means that Windows is keeping the files you don't want, penny-pinching scrounger that it is. Now, if you were to delete files left right and centre without occassionally emptying the Recycle Bin, then your computer's memory would quickly fill up, not leaving enough space for
Elvis. So keep on top of it! Not literally, though, because you could break it.
This is what it looks like inside that wheely bin!
So, you saw the bit about Audio CDs did you? No? Well, read on anyway, you might learn something. As well as being able to run CD-ROMs, your computer can also play Audio CDs (as long as it has a CD drive)! Erm, that's about it. Getting it to play them is simple enough, all you need to do is insert the Audio CD of your choice into your computer's CD drive, and Windows should load up the CDPlayer program, which looks not unlike this:
It's the CD player! That there artist is made up, or if not then I've never heard of him/her/them/it.
Then, it'll play the CD and you can dance to your heart's content, until the CD finishes or until you run out of breath, whichever happens first.
