Windows XP

Microsoft Windows Taskbar, maybeusers are configured differently. The Taskbar can be moved to any edge of the main display. When the Panel is displayed vertically on versions from the initial Microsoft Windows operating system to Microsoft Windows Vista, the Start menu button will only display the "Start" text. Or it is equivalent if the Taskbar is wide enough to show the full text.

However, the Panel (in any position) can bedrag, adjust the height (the width of the vertical Taskbar), this is especially useful for the vertical Taskbar, in order to show the window titles next to the icons. Users can change the height dimensions on the Panel to half the screen.

How to change the size of the taskbar: first you need to "unfasten" the panel - for this press the right mouse button and remove the bird with the "Lock the taskbar" - then move the cursor to the edge of the Panel, hold down the left mouse button and drag it up / down.

In order to avoid involuntaryresizing or repositioning the Taskbar, in Microsoft Windows XP and later Microsoft Windows, the Taskbar is fixed by default. The taskbar as a whole can be hidden until the mouse cursor moves to the edges of the Panel area.

To change the Windows XP taskbar simply - to the free space of the Panel, right-click and select "Properties." Make the necessary changes.

Therefore, the most important question that arises with many people is: How to change the taskbar to something like in Microsoft Windows XP? To return to the previous old style, the first thing you need to do is right-click on any free area of ​​the Taskbar and select "Properties" from the menu.

From the Panel buttons in the drop-down menu, you need to select"Do not combine", now each window will be displayed as a separate icon on the Taskbar. You can choose "Combine when the Taskbar is full", it will happen as, in principle, the option sounds.

Now you should see the buttons that areare displayed with the text of the shortcut as you are most likely accustomed to ... but already in the style of Microsoft Windows 7. If you chose "Use small icons" in the properties of the screen, in the Taskbar the windows will look very much like Microsoft Windows Vista.

The only problem is thatThe "fixed" icons are still hanging on the Taskbar, not as in Microsoft Windows Vista, or Microsoft Windows XP, but you can easily remove everything with the right mouse button and select "Uninstall the program from the Taskbar."

Windows 8

In Windows 8, secondary panels are added that are similaron the Taskbar referred to by any item called "charms" or "the charms" (in lowercase). They are called up by reading the right edge of the touchpad or moving the mouse cursor to the lower right or upper corner of the screen. There are five "charms" on this Taskbar: Search, Share, Start, Devices and Settings.

With the exception of "Start", each "charm" on this panel is amenable to content change. The "Start" button here is similar to the "Start" button in the Taskbar.
