If you want—or need—to tweak your File Explorer windows to a

appendix to this chapter, “The ‘Folder Options’ Options,” on this book’s
Missing CD at missingmanuals.com.

Taskbar 2.0

For years, the taskbar—the strip of colorful icons at the bottom of your
screen—has been one of the most prominent and important elements of the

Windows interface (Figure 2-17). Today, you can call it Taskbar, Extreme
Makeover Edition; it can do a lot of things it’s never done before.

The Start menu is back. As you know from Chapter 1, the Start

menu is at the far left of the taskbar.

The search box is next. Just to the right of the Start menu, the
search box (labeled “Type here to search”) awaits, as described in

Chapter 3.
