	Taskbar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, the taskbar is a term for the application desktop bar which is used to launch and monitor applications in Microsoft Windows 95 and later operating systems.
		The Windows Shell places a button on the taskbar whenever an application creates an unowned window: that is, a window that doesn't have a parent and that is created according to normal Windows UI guidelines.
		In various KDE distributions, the taskbar is run by the kpanel program, and consists of two parts: the panel and the taskbar.

		For example, if you leave your taskbar at the bottom of the screen and use Auto Hide, the taskbar is hidden until you move the pointer to the bottom edge of the screen; then the taskbar pops into view.

	The Old New Thing : Why do some people call the taskbar the "tray"?
		In early builds of Windows 95, the taskbar originally wasn't a taskbar; it was a folder window docked at the bottom of the screen that you could drag/drop things into/out of, sort of like the organizer tray in the top drawer of you desk.
		The taskbar can be docked to any edge of the screen and I HATE it when applications assume that it's at the bottom and position themselves accordingly.
		Regarding the taskbar on top vs. bottom debate: there are usability reasons to put the taskbar on the bottom, too.

	X vs. XP > The Dock vs. The Taskbar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Both OS X's Dock and XP's Taskbar allow shortcuts to applications, quick access to currently open applications, and can be moved to any side of the screen (the Dock can't be placed along the top edge of the screen, since all application menus are there).
		Like in OS X, resize corners can get lost behind the Taskbar, but this happens considerably less often than in OS X, because maximizing windows in XP doesn't place the bottom edge of the window underneath the task bar.
		Some readers have mentioned that the Dock's handling of text labels is inferior to that of the Taskbar, because the Dock's text labels only appear when your mouse is over an item.
