- Pointer – a symbol (arrow) that appears on the display screen, and can be used to select objects & commands.
- Icons – small graphical pictures that represent commands, files, or applications. By moving the pointer to the icon and pressing a mouse button, one can execute a command or convert the icon into a window.
- Buttons – items used to initiate a process in an application.
- Menus – they provide choices that let the user execute commands by selecting them.
- Desktop – this is the area on the display screen where icons are grouped.

3). All Windows operating system support multiple users & have the ability to Multi-task, i.e., they allow one to run more than one program at the same time, each in its own window.
4). It is easy to exchange information between Windows applications, i.e., it is easy to transfer or copy information from one program to another.
5). All Windows applications share a common set of commands. For example, Open, Save, Print, etc & therefore, you don’t need to learn a different set of commands for each application.
6). Ability to handle long file names, e.g., Windows 95 and later versions accept file names of up to 255 characters including spaces.
7). Most Windows operating systems have Plug and play (PnP) features. They automatically accept a new hardware once it is connected to the computer.
