Preview area

Some dialog boxes offer a preview area, which is an area of the dialog box that gives you a preview of
how the applied selection will affect the object. For example, the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties
dialog box shown in Figure 2-11 contains a preview of the Start menu. Choosing one of the option
buttons below the preview area shows you how your selection will change the appearance of the Start
menu. Therefore, if you don’t like what you see in the preview area, you can switch back to the other
option before you actually apply the change to the real Start menu.
