The mini-program window display means displays a plurality of mini-program windows within a first panel interface. Each mini-program window has a first background pattern. Each mini-program window represents a virtual computing screen. Mini-windows shown in the mini-program windows each represent an application window displayed in the represented virtual computing screen. The launch selection area display means displays a plurality of application launch selection areas within a second panel interface. The activating means activates an application process associated with a first application launch selection area in a first virtual computing screen represented by a first mini-program window in response to a user indicating a selection of the first application launch selection area from the application launch selection areas and the selection of the first mini-program window from the plurality of mini-program windows.
