Personalizing your desktop 

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

Taskbar- which resources to display for quick access 

Active Desktop- what information from the Internet to always display 

Desktop style- which type of display to use for windows and how to browse folders 
and files 

Toolbars- what information appears at the top of each window 

Customizing the taskbar 

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 not only Quick Launch 
icons, but also your favorite URL addresses or local folders and programs. 

 

 

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

 

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

To access all taskbar options: 

1. 

Point to an empty space in the taskbar and click the secondary button.

 

2. 

Point to 

Toolbars 

and click you’re setting.
