== Notifications Area Icons ==

One new feature of Windows 7 is the Action Center which shows notifications about the state of the system.

Not all notifications are equally important. The notifications concerning security (e.g. messages regarding Antivirus programs) are essential and we recommend you do not turn them off. Theoretically, you should not see not any grave notifications as we are trying to take care of them for you.

The other notifications are in general quite configurable. Please read on.

== How to access the Notifications Area ==

Either via the Control Panel:

 * Windows-Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Action Center
 
Or by right-clicking the taskbar icons (by default in the lower right corner of your desktop) and selection "Customize...":

== Notifications and actions ==
The notification area is located in the Windows task bar. This is by default the area in the right lower corner of your screen. Here you will see small popups called notifications containing compact information of running apps or programs on your computer. You can choose which notifications allowed to popup in the notification area as well as which icons you would like to see in the taskbar.
