Control Strip

When you first turn on your computer after your install System 7.5, a line of
small pictures may appear in the lower left of the screen. This is called the
Control Strip. If the Control Strip is not on your desktop, you can install it
using the Custom Install option. See “Using the Custom Install Option”
in Chapter 1 (“Installing System Software”). Note that the Control Strip may
not be available on all computers.

The Control Strip may look slightly different depending on whether you have
a PowerBook or a desktop computer, and depending on other options you
may have.

The Control Strip gives you an easy way to access the features you use most
often. You can still use the control panels anytime to fine-tune your settings.
For example, you can use the Control Strip to turn off AppleTalk, File
Sharing, and Sound Volume. You use the Control Strip control panel to show
and hide the Control Strip.
