Correctly setting up a strong password is essential to prevent unauthorized access to the device. Choosing a strong password will make it difficult for anyone other than the authorized user to gain access. The other options listed either do not directly contribute to securing the system (like organizing desktop icons), are steps that are typically automated or managed centrally in a corporate environment (like configuring a host firewall), or are not the most immediate security action needed after setting up a new workstation (like scheduling regular data backups, which is more about maintaining data availability).
