The Title Bar
* A classic window, such as Control Panel, has a long bar on its very top section. This is called the Title Bar. It is made of three sections.
* On the left side of the title bar, there is an icon that identifies the application you are using. This icon is called the system icon. Every application that looks like Control Panel is equipped with this type of icon but the icons are different from one application to another. This is because the person who creates the application also designs the icon that goes with it. The system icon has its own menu called the system menu. To access this menu, you can simply click the system icon.
* On the right side of the icon, the name of the window or application you are using displays. This text on the title bar is called a caption. It can be anything that the application programmer wanted it to be. On the right side of the caption, there is a long, empty, section. This section is actually the one referred to as the title bar.
Like the system icon, the title bar has its own menu.
