شريط التمرير، مربع التمرير


Explanation:
I agree with Fuad's suggestion. I also add here these translations from the Microsoft glossaries. Here are example messages from the Windows XP glossary:


Choose the size of your remote desktop. Drag the slider all the way to the right to go fullscreen.
اختر حجم سطح المكتب البعيد. اسحب شريط التمرير إلى اليسار حتى تصل إلى حجم ملء الشاشة

Move the slider to the right to increase or to the left to decrease the amount of disk space for System Restore. Decreasing the disk space may reduce the number of available restore points.

حرّك مربع التمرير إلى اليمين أو إلى اليسار لزيادة أو لإنقاص مساحة القرص من أجل استعادة النظام. قد يخفض زيادة مساحة القرص من عدد نقاط الاستعادة المتوفرة

I must also state my belief that Fuad's الزالق is both more expressive and more elegant.
