The Taskbar
Fig. 7 The Taskbar
The Taskbar is normally found at the bottom of the screen
(you can drag it to the top, or either side). From here you
can switch between open programs and documents, check
the time and date, and more importantly, access the Start
menu.
The Start menu
The Start menu has changed
from Windows® 95, 98, and
Me. You now have easy access
to commonly used areas such
as My Documents, My Videos,
My Music, E-mail, the Internet,
and Control Panel.
As you use your Advent
computer Windows® XP will
learn what your favourite
programs are and display them
on the Start menu for quick
access. This will update as
your use changes.
To open the Start menu click
the green Start button in the
bottom left of the screen.
