Personalizing your desktop
Your desktop is your virtual workspace. This section
explains how to customize its features for the way you like to
work. You can customize the following aspects of the
desktop:
Taskbar — which resources to display for quick access
Active Desktop™—what information from the Internet
to always display
Desktop style — how windows are displayed and how
to browse folders and files
Toolbars — what information appears at the top of each
window
Customizing the Taskbar
As you work, the Taskbar changes to reflect what you are
doing. Its icons provide shortcuts to programs, documents,
files, folders, system features, and components. Open
applications also have Forward and Backward buttons to
allow navigation through folders, documents, and Web
sites.
