2.4 Description of the new desktop

The installation program adds an option Rosetta to the menu Start / Programs. This option opens a sub-menu with two options, Assistant Rosetta and Désinstallation Rosetta (Uninstalling Rosetta) :

The first option launches the Rosetta Assistant, graphical interface from which you will be able to launch all the programs of the CD-ROM, display the documentations, test and customize your installation, etc. The second option allows to uninstall the Rosetta distribution (cf. sec. 2.5).

The installation program adds also an icon entitled Assistant Rosetta and a filer entitled Rosetta on the desktop :

The icon allows to launch Rosetta Assistant, as does the option with the same name. The filer (cf. Fig 2.2) regroups shortcuts to some programs of the distribution, as troubleshooting in the case where the Rosetta assistant would refuse to start at the first attempt.

The icons of the Rosetta filer

It must be noted that the installation program does not add any shortcut to the computer algebra programs of the CD-ROM in the menu Start / Programs of Windows : these programs must be launched from the Rosetta assistant, and are executed from the CD-ROM. The system of menus and the file system of the hard disk are both modified in a minimal way, in accordance with the original requirement (to be able to test the various CAS of the CD-ROM without installing them on the hard disk).
