Icon

A main feature of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), icons reside on your computer's desktop and are images that intuitively represent a program, document, directory, hard drive, floppy disk, etc. You can double-click on the icons to open them, drag and drop them into new directories, or throw them away in the trash can (or, for Windows users, recycle bin), which is also an icon.
