You will probably notice that there are 2 or 3 small icons on the taskbar already, these are usually an Internet Explorer icon and a "Show Desktop" icon, this small area is known as the quick launch area, you can place your own items here for quick launch, say if you use a program a lot, such as a word processor this would give you quick access to the program.
The "show desktop" icon is illustrated below, the picture for this icon is very similar on Windows Vista & XP but for Windows 7 the icon appears on the far right hand side of the taskbar.
When you open a program you will also notice that the open program shows up on the taskbar, this will allow you to minimise that program and leave it running so that you can access the items on your desktop.
Another handy feature of the task bar in Windows 7 is the ability to "pin" items to it, which basically means that you can attach your most used folders and software to it, we will be covering this feature in the future.
