Dragging a cursor over them did not pull down any text to identify them. All I could think about during this brief encounter was "intuitive my @ss!". Surely if someone spent a few minutes with me explaining where a few things were, I could have gotten past this, but in all seriousness all I could think about was "intuitive my @ss!".

Other than the occasional virus type stuff I am happy with my Dell cad station at work and my laptop at home. I know how they work and I am plenty "creative" on Autocad which works perfectly on both.
Those little icons are shortcuts to the applications and by default rolling over them pops up their names. Someone turned that off. Copying files is the same as any other computer, drag them from one place to the other.
