clicking it. The Classic view gives you the icons representing their components or
features. Double-click one of the icons to open their dialog box or windows. Some of
the dialog boxes you will use often are:
• Display

Clicking Switch to XXX View string appearing at the upper left of the
Control Panel window allows you to toggle between the two views.
