A portable handheld computing device has a processor and a touch-sensitive display. The display includes a touch-sensitive area superimposed on a viewing area, whereby the touch-sensitive area extends beyond the viewing area to form a border outside of the viewing area but within the touch-sensitive area. The handheld computing device has an operating system that executes on the processor to provide a graphical user interface environment capable of presenting a program taskbar within the viewing area. The operating system is configured to present a taskbar within the viewing area in response to contact from a stylus in the border beneath the viewing area.
