can select a date/time in the past when the system is working and return to
that configuration.

holds the start button, system tray (containing the clock and other features),
toolbars and buttons for the currently running applications. It provides a
quick means of launching or accessing controls and applications.
Toolbars
A feature of Windows that allows you to create toolbars on the taskbar
or desktop. You can create the toolbars manually, or drag existing folders
to the taskbar to create custom taskbars.

It is based on a pad that allows finger movements to be converted to
