Right-click it to alter how the taskbar behaves, such as by adding additional toolbars, or hiding the Task View button. This space will fill up with applications as you open them, but it's also helpful space for working with the taskbar itself. You should also have a bit of empty space along the taskbar just to the left of the overflow arrow. These will often start running when your computer boots up though they can be disabled from doing so in Task Manager. These system tray applications tend to keep to themselves without needing much user involvement, which is why they don't live with the other active applications. Their icons will often indicate the status of the applications, and right-clicking them can bring up options for interaction, much like active applications. Clicking it will show other applications that are running in the background. OverflowĪ small upwards facing arrow will sit in the taskbar, close to a collection of other icons in the bottom-right of your screen. Also like pinned programs, they can be repositioned within the overflow menu or in the system tray next to the clock by dragging and dropping. Right-clicking active programs in the taskbar will bring up more detailed tasks, similar to those offered by pinned programs. You can also close programs from these previews by clicking the X in the top-right of their thumbnails. This way you can interact with your programs without having to open them. Some active applications will have other controls accessible when you mouse over them like that, such as changing status in Skype, or skipping tracks in Music. Click whichever one you want to switch to. Move your mouse over each of those thumbnails, and they will highlight on screen.
To switch between multiple windows of an application, just move your mouse cursor over the icon, and thumbnails of each window will show up. A lighter background will be behind the window that is currently active, and if more than one instance of an application is open, you'll notice the edge of another tile tucked behind the icon. Programs that are currently open will look a lot like pinned applications, except there will be a thin line beneath them.
