Programs can be pinned to the taskbar so that they are quicker to get to: you can open a pinned program simply by clicking on it. The Start menu can also be opened by pressing the Windows key ( ) on the keyboard. The appearance of the Start button varies between versions, but it is always the left-most button of the taskbar. Clicking and dragging this button will change the size of the window. If the window is already maximized, clicking this button will resize the window to be smaller.

The options contained in this toolbar vary greatly from program to program.

Windows computers have this bar at the top of windows Macs have this bar at the top of the screen instead.
