Taskbar


A Taskbar is another computer display function made possible by a GUI (Graphical User Interface) System. It allows users to launch and monitor programs and tasks. It was first incorporated by Microsoft in 1995 in the Windows 95 Operating System. With advancements made in GUI systems, Taskbars can also be identified as Docks, and can have a transparent appearance. It contains the start button and menu, can support quick launch functions, and can support shortcuts to computer, networks, software and programs, and has the ability to have icons "pinned" to it, so they can serve as shortcuts.
