On the Windows 7 platform, the new taskbar is a great opportunity to make your application look different. It is the main place where end users start and manage activities. Therefore, integrating new taskbar features into a stylish Windows 7 application becomes a very important task.
The ability to integrate locking into the new taskbar is designed to provide users with a clearer Windows user interface to reduce the number of new concepts users need to learn in order to interact with the system, and to easily find key features, tasks, and goals to accommodate most end user scenarios.
