Windows includes a special desktop toolbar called the taskbar, which displays at the bottom of the display by default. The taskbar allows you to find, view, open and switch between your applications. You can also see the date and time, system icons and items running in the background on the notification area.

You can make the taskbar look the way you want it, manage your calendar, pin your favorite apps to it, resize, change the position on the screen, and specify how the taskbar buttons together when you open multiple windows.

You can also add toolbars to the taskbar. The default toolbars include Address (link), Links (link), Desktop and any new (customized) toolbars added by the user or application.
