About this tag
The term 'mechanism' on WindowsForum.com appears in discussions about system and security features. One thread asks about a mechanism to remove an intrusive 'tweets' link from the interface.

These examples show 'mechanism' used in the context of Windows features, security protocols, and user interface controls.
