Apple Mac OS 7.6 - Manual (Page 32)

For help using the Extensions Manager to choose which parts of system
software you want to use, see Mac OS Guide, available in the Guide menu
when the Finder is the active program. Or click the Guide button in the
Extensions Manager itself.
Apple System Profiler
The Apple System Profiler application, available in the Apple (K) menu,
provides detailed information about your current hardware and software
configuration. This information can often help technicians isolate the cause of
a problem you’re experiencing. The Apple System Profiler is only available on
computers with 68040 processors or PowerPC microprocessors.
The items displayed by the System Profiler are described in Balloon Help. If
you aren’t familiar with a particular item, open the Guide menu and choose
Show Balloons. Then point to that item to see a description of it.
Control Strip
If you have a portable computer, or a PowerPC computer that uses the PCI
expansion bus, you’ll notice the Control Strip at the lower-left corner of your
screen after you install Mac OS 7.6. You can use the Control Strip to access
common features quickly. (You can still use control panels to fine-tune your
settings.) For example, you can use the Control Strip to turn off file sharing or
increase the sound volume. You use the Control Strip control panel to show
and hide the Control Strip.
The Control Strip may look slightly different depending on whether you have
a portable or a desktop computer and on other options you may have.
For help using the Control Strip, see Mac OS Guide, available in the Guide
menu when the Finder is active.
