How do i make a floating shortcut bar in XP? I made a new tool bar
but was not able to drag it off the task bar to another position on
the screen.
 
Right-click the taskbar and unlock it. Holding down your right mouse
button, position your cursor over the left vertical divider of the
toolbar you want to move, grab it and pull it off the taskbar.
 
You can create a floating toolbar by dragging it from the taskbar to the
desktop.

To add toolbars to the taskbar

1. Right-click an empty area on the taskbar

2. Point to Toolbars, and then click the toolbar you want to add.

The Address bar lets you quickly go to any Web page you specify. Open
the Address bar by double-clicking it. The Links bar provides links to
product information on the Web and lets you add Web links by dragging
them to the toolbar. Open the toolbar by clicking the double chevron
(»). The Desktop toolbar places items from your desktop, such as the
Recycle Bin and My Computer, on the taskbar. Open the toolbar by
clicking the double chevron (»). The Quick Launch bar displays icons you
can click to quickly open programs, show the desktop, or perform other
tasks.

The New toolbar lets you place a shortcut to a folder on the taskbar.

taskbar by pointing to the vertical bar on the left side of the toolbar
and dragging it to the left or right.
