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 currently active one, click the 
associated taskbar button.

The notification area displays icons of tasks or programs that run 
continuously in the background and displays notifications. To learn 
more about each task, position the pointer over the icon for a few 
moments and a short description of the task appears.

mode, network connectivity status, and speaker volume.

To activate a specific task, click the appropriate notification area 
icon.
