On a motherboard or peripheral card jumpers and switch banks are used for configuring various parameters on the circuit board.
For instance, older peripheral cards needed to be told at what address, IRQ and DMA that they needed to be. The reason for this was because other cards that they already installed might already be using those resources. You cannot have multiple devices at the same address. On rare occasions, things could share IRQs or DMAs, but never at the same time. So you had the option to change the addresses and other resources used by the device so there would be no conflicts between the devices.
Older motherboards had to be configured as to what bus speed and CPU multiplier to use, so jumpers and switches served this purpose. Newer boards tend to get that information directly from the CPU or they get it from the CMOS.
Jumpers can also be used as bypasses, such as allowing the speaker socket on the back to work when the front panel socket wires are not attached. So if you don't attach the wires, you leave the jumpers in the speak header in place.

How can you get your drivers side window to go up when the switch is out?
Remove the door panel, find and unplug the window motor. Use jumper wires to supply battery voltage from the door lock switch (or use jumper cables and jumper wires to get power to it from the battery) to the two contacts on the motor. If the window goes the wrong way, switch the wires at the motor. Leave the window motor unplugged so it can't be rolled down accidentally until you are able to properly repair the window.
