programs. The taskbar is located at the bottom of the desktop.

Start Button - Opens up the Start menu which is the main gateway to your computer's

Use the Start menu to: start programs, open commonly used folders, adjust computer
settings, get help, and most importantly turn off the computer.

used programs which lets you start programs with one click.
