    摘要: A graphical user interface, executable on a computer system, includes a first user-selectable icon, displayable on the computer system and representing an object having desired properties within the computer system. A second user-selectable icon, also displayable on the computer system, appears visually distinguishable from the first icon and likewise represents the same object. The second icon has associated therewith at least one of user-selectable command, which enables manipulation of the properties of the object upon selection thereof. The second icon may be located remotely from the first icon on the graphical user interface to provide for convenient manipulation of the object properties without having to access the first icon repeatedly.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of accessing at least a first of a plurality of object owned windows simultaneously open in a graphic user interface on a computer system. For each object on a computer system, an object list is maintained. The object list includes all opened windows owned by the objects. User inputs to the computer system are monitored for a user request for a window list. Responsive to a user request for the window list, each object list is retrieved and, for objects lists having a single opened window, a window entry to the window list is listed. For object lists having a plurality of opened windows, an object entry and a plurality of window entries are added to the window list. The window list is then displayed. Window names include an owning object identifier and a description of the window. Adding a object entry and a plurality of window entries to a window list includes making the name of the object an entry and includes generating a plurality of entries for windows including descriptions of the windows. The window descriptions are placed proximate to but separate from the object name upon display of the window list.
