want. One big improvement is the ability to control where your programs appear on your taskbar Always want your web browser right next to the start button? Drag the icon where you want it, and it'll stay there till you move it. You can also pin your program icon to the taskbar, so it's there all the time. You can even pin specific documents and websites to Jump Lists on your taskbar.

Retooled taskbar
Since Windows 95, the taskbar has served as the go to spot to see what programs you have open and to switch windows. Times and PC habits have changed. So in Windows 7, the taskbar has been completely redisigned to help you get more done with fewer clicks. For starters, you can arrange programs where you want then on the taskbar, pin the ones you use a lot so they're always there, and launch them directly from the taskbar. When you open programs and windows, it's a lot easier to see what's open.
