For example, text copied from a word processor can be pasted with markup into applications that support it, and in plain text into the rest.

The toolbar in Windows 7 (and in other versions of Windows) is needed to quickly call a program or file. There are enough panels in Windows 7, you can do without additional ones for years. But sometimes such a need arises.

What options are there in Windows 7?

When is an additional panel needed?

• If you are missing the Windows 7 taskbar to place shortcuts to all the programs you frequently use.
• If you need fast opening of all documents of a certain folder.
• To get to several hundred shortcuts on the desktop, you need to minimize or close all windows, which is not always convenient.
• As a temporary fixture. While you often access certain files or applications, they are in front of your eyes. When the need is gone, you can delete the folder. All that remains is the taskbar with those programs that are always needed. It will be required - you can create a new toolbar.
• In new versions operating systems   new functions are added to replace the old ones. Often users who are used to the XP interface complain that Windows 7 is no good. That everything is improperly located in it, and there are no previous convenient options.

What does Windows offer?

By default, the toolbar in Windows 7 is not reflected, but it is not difficult to create it.

1. Right-click "Start", select "Properties". The settings menu for the Start button, taskbar and tools opens.
2. You can adjust the settings for the "Start" and "Tasks", but now we are interested in the third tab. It is proposed to create five toolbars: Desktop, Address, Tablet Input, Links and Bluetooth Remote Control. Now there is not a single bird against them, but if you need something from here, then you can put a bird.

Is required fast access   to other applications

How to delete?

• Right-click "Start", select "Properties", "Toolbars", remove the bird.
• Right-click the taskbar, “Panels”, under “Language” you will see yours. Remove the bird.

When you get used to the Windows 7 interface, you will.
