Quick Launch bar

At the bottom left of the screen, you will see your Start menu button
to the right of Start is the Quick Launch bar, and at the far right of the screen is the
System Tray. We have already discussed the Start menu button, so let's look at the
Quick Launch bar.
There are six icons in the Quick Launch Bar. These are: Internet Explorer, Show
Desktop, Word, Excel, Outlook, and Publisher. A single tap on any of these will open the
application.
As you open other applications, they will be displayed between the Quick Launch bar and
the System Tray. To minimise an application's window, tap the application's button to the
right of the Quick Launch bar at the bottom of the screen; tap it again to maximise it.
In the example below the following are all open: Explorer, a Word document, an Excel
workbook, a Publisher document and a web page. Practice opening multiple applications
and maximising and minimising them.
In Windows XP, if you have more than one file open in an application it will put the
number of files open in that application next to the application's title. In the example
below there are four windows open in Word, four in Excel, two in Publisher, and two web
pages (internet Explorer). To access any of these files, tap on the application and it will
open a small menu with the names of all the open files. Tap on the file's name to display
it.

If you get stuck, always try the online Help and Support first.
Don't be scared to use this. Windows XP has
comprehensive help functions, including small 'walk-
through' procedures that help you complete an
unfamiliar task.
If you can't find a file or have forgotten where you stored it, use
Search to find it.
This is an alternative method for starting programs, but requires
quite a bit of technical knowledge. It is much easier to use the All
Programs button.
