Getting to Know Windows Millennium Edition
Lesson 1: Exploring the desktop
Shortcut tray
The Shortcut tray displays icons of tasks or programs.
These icons function much like the desktop icons, but are
easily accessible even when the desktop is covered with
open windows.
To activate a task or program, click the appropriate Shortcut
tray icon.
To add an icon to the Shortcut tray, drag it to the Shortcut
tray.
Taskbar
Each time you open a program, a button associated with
that program appears on the taskbar. With some programs,
a button appears on the taskbar for each document or
window you open. You can use these buttons to quickly
switch between the programs or windows.
To make a program or window the active one, click the
associated button.
System tray
The system tray displays icons of tasks or programs that run
continuously in the background. To learn more about each
task, position the cursor over the icon for a few moments
and a short description of the task appears.
Typical tasks in the system tray are Current time, Power
usage mode, and speaker volume.
To activate a specific task, double-click the appropriate
system tray icon.
