Taskbar
You can start programs and switch between already active programs using the taskbar
beneath the screen. You can place every program in the taskbar under Windows® 7, so
that you can always open it with a single click. Furthermore, you can rearrange the sym-
bols on the taskbar by clicking on them and dragging them to the desired position. Move
the cursor over the symbols, and the system will display a miniature of every file or win-
dow open in the program. When you move your cursor over the miniature, the system will
display a full-screen preview of the particular window. If you move the cursor away from
the miniature, the full-screen preview will close.

Windows Search
Windows Search helps you find almost all data located on the PC, quickly and easily. With
Windows® 7, you get search results with greater relevance, and they are easier to under-
stand.

Program Bar
The most commonly used software programs are listed here. The operating system recog-
nises all this automatically. Clicking on an entry with the right mouse key enables you to
decide which entry on the list to keep or to remove. The program linked to the input is not
erased.

top icon.
The desktop encompasses nearly the entire screen and acts as the shelf space for such
entries or for other links, to which you would like rapid access.
