Your desktop is your virtual workspace. This section explains 
how to customize its features for the way you like to work. 
You can customize the following aspects of the desktop:

❖

Taskbar—which resources to display for quick access

❖

Web content interface—what information from the 
Internet to always display

❖

Desktop style—how windows are displayed and how to 
browse folders and files

❖

Toolbars—what information appears at the top of each 
window

As you work, the taskbar changes to reflect what you are 
doing. Its icons provide shortcuts to programs, documents, 
files, folders, system features, and components. Open 
applications also have Forward and Backward buttons to 
allow navigation through folders, documents, and Web sites.

For example, you can personalize the taskbar to include 
Quick Launch icons, and also your favorite URL addresses or 
local folders and programs. 

DEFINITION: URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, which 
is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any 
other Internet facility. Generically, it is known as the World 
Wide Web site address.

Having a list of favorite URLs handy saves time. Using it 
bypasses the need for you to launch your browser first.

To customize your taskbar settings, point to an empty space 
in the taskbar and click the secondary button. Then click 
Properties.
