Taskbar

 

In Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP/Vista, a bar across the bottom of your screen listing all the programs you have running simultaneously. (If you're using Auto Hide, the Taskbar will appear only when you slide the mouse pointer down against the bottom edge of the screen.) Each program is represented as a button bearing a miniature copy of the program's icon. To restore a program, you click its button.
