- the <guilabel>Computer</guilabel> icon. If you double-click this icon, a window appears that contains available storage devices on the computer. These are also listed in the <menuchoice><guimenu>Places </guimenu><guisubmenu> Computer</guisubmenu></menuchoice> menu.

- the <guilabel>Home</guilabel> icon, which represents the location where all of the logged in user's files, such as music, movies, and documents, are stored by default. There is a different home directory for each user, and users cannot access each other's home directories by default.

- the <guilabel>Trash</guilabel> icon. Normally, when you choose to delete a file, it is not permanently removed from your system. Instead, it is sent to the trash folder, which you can access from this icon. To permanently remove a file from your system, you must <firstterm>empty</firstterm> the trash. To empty the trash, right-click the icon and select <menuchoice><guilabel>Empty Trash</guilabel></menuchoice>.

- The Fedora Live CD desktop also includes an icon for installing Fedora to your hard disk. Additional icons may appear depending on your system. For example, inserting a USB stick will cause an icon to appear for accessing the stick.
+ You can switch between active applications by using the keyboard shortcut <keymap>Alt + Tab</keymap>. The <firstterm>application switcher</firstterm> will appear showing icons of active applications. <keymap>Alt + Tab</keymap> will cycle through the applications from left to right, while <keymap>Shift + Alt + Tab</keymap> will cycle from right to left. If an active application has more than one window open, you can also use <keymap>Alt + `</keymap> and <keymap>Shift + Alt + `</keymap> to cycle through the windows, where <keymap>`</keymap> is the key above the <keymap>Tab</keymap> key on your keyboard.

You can move an active window to another workspace by using <keymap>Control + Shift + Alt + Up</keymap> or <keymap>Control + Shift+ Alt + Down</keymap>. If no workspace exists below the current one, a new one will be created automatically.
