A standard Windows icon that represents a user's private, usually local, storage. It is the source of all information about computer resources including the drivers and control panel. My Computer shows the contents of floppy disk, hard disk, CD-ROM drive, and network drives.
In Windows XP it is the icon in the start menu and in all other versions it is the icon on the desktop. Windows 98 includes the printing mechanism and dial-up networking mechanism.
It displays local resources and remote resources are displayed with Network Neighborhood except Windows XP. My computer of Windows XP displays both local and remote resources.
