Desktop Model: Fig 1a shows the figure A desktop computer is a personal computer in a form intended for regular use at a single location desk/table due to its size and power requirements. The most common configuration is a computer monitor, keyboard and mouse, and a case that houses the main components of the PC, namely the power supply, motherboard, hard drive, optical drive, and previously the floppy drive. The form factor of the case is typically an upright tower or (horizontal) desktop. 2. Laptop: As shown in fig 1b , It is a portable computer, which can sit on the user’s lap. It has a pop-up screen and batteries power in it. Laptops are useful to send information while traveling from one place to another. 3. PDA: Fig 1c shows PDA stands for Short for Personal Digital Assistant, it is of the size of user’s palm. It is used as personal organizer and provides user with the ability to store names and address, play games, access the internet and acts as a calculator. A typical PDA can function as a cellular phone, fax sender, and personal organizer. Unlike portable computers, most PDAs are pen-based, using a stylus rather than a keyboard for input. PDAs are also called palmtops, hand-held computers and pocket computers. 4. Notebook computer: Fig 1d shows Notebook Computer. An extremely lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than 6 pounds and are small enough to fit easily in a briefcase. Aside from size, the principal difference between a notebook computer and a personal computer is the display screen. Notebook computers use a variety of techniques, known as flat-panel technologies, to produce a lightweight and non-bulky display screen. The quality of notebook display screens varies considerably. In terms of computing power, modern notebook computers are nearly equivalent to personal computers. They have the same CPUs, memory capacity, and disk drives. However, all this power in a small package is expensive. Notebook computers cost about twice as much as equivalent regular-sized computers. Notebook computers come with battery packs that enable you to run them without plugging them in. However, the batteries need to be recharged every few hours. 5. Subnotebook computer: Fig 1e shows subnotebook computer. A portable computer that is slightly lighter and smaller than a full-sized notebook computer. Typically, subnotebook 2| By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli.

If it uses a PS/2 connector, plug it into the green mouse port on the back of the computer. If you have external speakers or headphones, you can connect them to your computer's audio port (either on the front or the back of the computer case). Many computers have color-coded ports. Speakers or headphones connect to the green port, and a microphone connects to the pink port. The blue port is the line in, which can be used with other types of devices. Some speakers, headphones, and microphones have USB connectors instead of the usual audio plug. These can be connected to any USB port. In addition, many computers have speakers or microphones built into the monitor. Locate the two power supply cables that came with your computer. Plug the first power supply cable into the back of the computer case, and then into a surge protector. Then, using the other cable, connect the monitor to the surge protector. Finally, plug the surge protector into a wall outlet. You may also need to turn on the surge protector if it has a power switch. 11 | By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS LAB MANUAL BOOTING PROCESS In order for a computer to successfully boot, its BIOS(Basic Input Output System), operating system and hardware components must all be working properly; failure of any one of these three elements will likely result in a failed boot sequence. When the computer's power is first turned on, the CPU initializes itself, which is triggered by a series of clock ticks generated by the system clock. Part of the CPU's initialization is to look to the system's ROM BIOS for its first instruction in the startup program. The ROM BIOS stores the first instruction, which is the instruction to run the power-on self test (POST), in a predetermined memory address. POST begins by checking the BIOS chip and then tests CMOS RAM. If the POST does not detect a battery failure, it then continues to initialize the CPU, checking the inventoried hardware devices (such as the video card), secondary storage devices, such as hard drives and floppy drives, ports and other hardware devices, such as the keyboard and mouse, to ensure they are functioning properly. Once the POST has determined that all components are functioning properly and the CPU has successfully initialized, the BIOS looks for an OS to load. The BIOS typically looks to the CMOS chip to tell it where to find the OS, and in most PCs, the OS loads from the C drive on the hard drive even though the BIOS has the capability to load the OS from a floppy disk, CD or ZIP drive. The order of drives that the CMOS looks to in order to locate the OS is called the boot sequence, which can be changed by altering the CMOS setup. Looking to the appropriate boot drive, the BIOS will first encounter the boot record, which tells it where to find the beginning of the OS and the subsequent program file that will initialize the OS. Once the OS initializes, the BIOS copies its files into memory and the OS basically takes over control of the boot process. Now in control, the OS performs another inventory of the system's memory and memory availability (which the BIOS already checked) and loads the device drivers that it needs to control the peripheral devices, such as a printer, scanner, optical drive, mouse and keyboard. This is the final stage in the boot process, after which the user can access the system’s applications to perform tasks. 12 | By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli.

Ex 5: Familiarization with GUI based windows operating system Windows Explorer: Windows Explorer is a place where you can view the drives on your computer and manipulate the folders and files. Using Windows Explorer, you can cut, copy, paste, rename, and delete folders and files. Wallpaper : Wallpaper is the background that displays on your desktop. font : A font is a set of characters represented in a single typeface. Each character within a font is created by using the same basic style. Folders : Folders are used to organize the data stored on your drives. It consists of set of files. Screen saver : Computer monitors display images by firing electron beams at a phosphor-coated screen. If the same image stays on the screen too long, there is a danger that the image will leave a permanent imprint on the screen. A screensaver (or screen saver) is a computer program that blanks the screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use. Initially designed to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT and plasma computer monitors (hence the name), screensavers are now used primarily for entertainment, security or to display system status information. Scroll bars: In many programs, if the contents of the work area do not fit in the window, scrollbars will appear. A vertical scrollbar will appear at the right side of the window and a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window, depending on the fit. The vertical scrollbar provides a way to move up and down. The horizontal scrollbar provides a way to move from left to right. icon : An icon is a graphic image.

Ex 6.Creation of Folders, Creating/Opening of file, Editing and saving the document, Copy, Cut and Paste operations, built-in utilities of OS like – Text Editors, Paint, Calculator, etc. Creation of folder: A folder is a location where you can store your files. You can create any number of folders and even store folders inside other folders (subfolders). Here’s how to create a new folder: 1. Go to the location (such as a folder or the desktop) where you want to create a new folder. 2. Right-click a blank area on the desktop or in the folder window, point to New, and then click Folder. 3. Type a name for the new folder, and then press Enter. The new folder will appear in the location you specified. Editing and saving the document using Notepad. Procedure: Go to start >Program>accessories from their select notepad or double click on the notepad to open notepad , go to file select new to open new file and type text and then save the document using save option. Copy, Cut and Paste operations: Cut command removes the selected data from its original position, while the copy command creates a duplicate; in both cases the selected data is placed in a clipboard. The data in the clipboard is later inserted in the position where the paste command is issued. 19 | By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS LAB MANUAL Cut and paste: 1. The user selects or "highlights" the text or file for moving by some method, typically by dragging over the text or file name with the pointing-device or holding down the Shift key while using the arrow keys to move the text cursor. 2. The user performs a "cut" operation via key combination Ctrl+x , menu, or other means 3. Visibly, "cut" text immediately disappears from its location. "Cut" files typically change color to indicate that they will be moved. 4. Conceptually, the text has now moved to a location often called the clipboard. The clipboard typically remains invisible. On most systems only one clipboard location exists, hence another cut or copy operation overwrites the previously stored information. 5. The user selects a location for insertion by some method, typically by clicking at the desired insertion point 6. A paste operation takes place which visibly inserts the clipboard text at the insertion point. Copy and paste: The term "copy-and-paste" refers to simple method of reproducing text or other data from a source to a destination. It differs from cut and paste in that the original source text or data does not get deleted or removed. Once one has copied data into the clipboard, one may paste the contents of the clipboard into a destination document. Built-in Utilities: Text Editors A text editor is a type of program used for editing plain text files. Text editors are provided with operating systems and software development packages, and can be used to change configuration files, documentation files and programming language source code. A plain text file uses a character encoding such as UTF-8 or ASCII to represent numbers, letters, and symbols. The only non-printing characters in the file that can be used to format the text are newline, tab, and form feed. Plain text files are often displayed using a mono space font so horizontal alignment and columnar formatting is sometimes done using space characters. Paint Paint is a simple computer graphics program that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft Paint. The program mainly opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, 20 | By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS LAB MANUAL and monochrome, all with the .bmp extension), JPEG, GIF (without animation or transparency, although the Windows 98 version, a Windows 95 upgrade, and the Windows NT4 version did support the latter),PNG (without alpha channel), and single-page TIFF. The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. Calculator You can use Calculator to perform simple calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Calculator also offers the advanced capabilities of a programming, scientific, and statistical calculator. You can perform calculations by clicking the calculator buttons, or you can type calculations by using your keyboard. You can also use the numeric keypad to type numbers and operators by pressing Num Lock. Ex 7. Practice browsing of different sites using Search Engine. Some of Search engine: Yahoo!

Procedure: Steps to create email account: Step 1: Click on the Free Sign Up Button Step 2: Enter all mandatory fields (First Name, Last Name, Gender, etc.) Step 3: Type in your desired Email Address Step 4: Choose a secure Password (at least 8 characters, mixing letters, numbers, lower and upper case, and using special characters) Step 5:Select your Security Question, type in your Answer Step 6: Verify your registration by typing the numbers in the captcha picture Step 7:Click the "Accept" - Button underneath How to send an email Step 1: Log in to your Email account so that you are on the dashboard (main page) of your mail account. 22 | By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS LAB MANUAL Step 2: Click Compose Step 3: A new blank email window will open up. In the ‘To’ box, type in the email address of the recipient. Step 4: You might want to include someone else in your email to ‘keep them in the loop’. You can do this by clicking Cc or Bcc, which will open another field. ‘Cc’ means ‘carbon copy’ and ‘Bcc’ means ‘blind carbon copy’. Adding an email address to the ‘Cc’ field means that that person will receive a copy of the email and all the other recipients will see their email address. If an email address is put into the 'Bcc’ field, the person will get a copy of the email but no other recipient will see that address. If you are sending the same email to lots of different people, it’s a good idea to put all the email addresses in the ‘Bcc’ field to keep your ‘mailing list’ confidential. That way, there’s no chance that it could fall into the hands of a spammer or hacker. Step 5: The subject field allows you to give the recipient an idea of the topic of your email, like a heading. You don’t have to put anything in the subject box, but it can help when viewing and sorting email. Step 6: Email text can be formatted in a similar way to text in a word document. You can change the font style, color and size using the formatting icons. You can also create bullet points and check the spelling of your email. Choose your formatting from the menu shown. Step 7: Type your message in the main body field of your email Step 8: When you’re done with your email, click the blue Send button at the bottom of the compose window Step 9: The email you’ve sent will now be stored in the ‘Sent Mail’ folder on your email dashboard. You may have to run your mouse pointer over the Inbox folder link to see the other folders. Step 10: You may start an email but then decide to come back to it later rather than sending it straightaway. Gmail saves your drafts automatically. So you can simply close the email and the unfinished email will be saved to your ‘Drafts’ folder. When you decide that you’re ready to send it, you can retrieve it from the ‘Drafts’ folder by clicking Drafts and then clicking the correct item in the ‘Drafts’ folder list. Finish the email and click send as normal 23 | By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS LAB MANUAL UNIT-II 1.
