Control Panel
You can use the icons in Control Panel to change the appearance and functionality of
Windows®7. These icons represent options for configuring your notebook. You should,
however, consult "Help and Support" on the potential effects of certain changes.
System tray
System tray on the current time. When certain events occur, for example, upon receipt of
an e-mail message or upon opening the task manager, it may happen that too many
notification symbols are displayed in this field. Windows® displays a notification symbol
when an event occurs. After a short time, Windows® places the symbol in the background,
in order to maintain the straightforwardness of the field. You can access the symbols
placed in the background by clicking on a button in the system tray.
