Taskbar buttons are the name for the controls on the taskbar. Windows include a taskbar button for each primary window (or secondary window with certain properties) that a program creation, and it removes the button when the window closes. These new taskbar button characteristics can be used by programs created for Windows 7:

• Even when the program isn’t operating, Jump Lists offer quick access to frequently used locations (such as files, folders, and links) and actions via a context menu accessible via the program’s taskbar button and Start menu item.
• Quick access to frequently used commands for a certain window is made possible by thumbnail toolbars. The taskbar button’s thumbnail displays’ toolbar thumbnails.
• The taskbar button icon for the software displays overlay icons to indicate status changes.
• On the program’s taskbar button, progress bars display the status of lengthy tasks.
• Users can go immediately to window tabs, project windows, multiple-document interface (MDI) child windows, and secondary windows by using the taskbar button thumbnails for sub-window taskbar buttons.
• In order to enable rapid access to programs even when they aren’t operating, users can pin program buttons to the taskbar.

The taskbar is an access point to programs which appear on your desktop. Taskbar features on Windows allow users to issue commands, access resources, and view program status directly from the taskbar. The taskbar is an access point to programs that appear on your desktop even when the programs are minimized. Such programs are meant to be present on your desktop. The taskbar allows you to see the primary windows and certain secondary windows open on your desktop and quickly switch between them.
