Taskbar is found at the bottom of the screen. It may be also found using the Start button, that can be used to quickly open a program or to find a file. It’s also the fastest way to get help. When you open a program, document or window, there appears a button on the taskbar. It can also be used for quick changes between open windows. To change to another program or window is enough to press its button on the Taskbar. Switching between applications does not close the application, it only makes you to see the selected application. To close an application (in many cases) require you to go directly to that app.
A window on the taskbar gives you a series of features and information delivered simply by pressing them with your mouse (right click). For example, the application itself can be expanded, closed, moved, or may return to another window on the Taskbar.
Taskbar can be hidden. You have to click on Start Settings Taskbar and enable auto hide option. In order to reappear, you must pass the mouse over where it was before. If you want to use the auto hide option you can temporarily hide the Taskbar by dragging the mouse down on the side of it (hold the left mouse button).
Taskbar can be positioned anywhere on the screen. To move from the bottom where the initial is, you need to pull it (hold the left button) and position it closer to the edge where you want to settle. Thus Taskbar can be in any of the four corners of the screen. In the bottom right of the taskbar are available some programs used often or always running. They are loaded with the system at startup and can be accessed only by clicking on them.

To access it you need to click the mouse on the start button at the left of the screen. To add a program, go to the Start menu and then programs: Start Settings Taskbar.
There go to Add/Remove Programs. Locate the program you wish to add and double click on it. Then double-click on the menu you want to open from that program. Then write the name you want to see on the menu and click Finish. If you are prompted to choose an icon, choose one and click Finish again.
In Taskbar you’ll find the icons of the program and documents for faster access, here recently used documents are stored. There are generally different computer settings and options for Taskbar & Start Menu. The application “Find” helps you to find the files or folders on your hard drive that you want to see. The application Taskbar supports Windows and has closing abilites, that is if you want to close a certain program, which can be closed in this way. The same application starts in DOS mode.
