Can you teach novice how to set up one of these toolbars in XP please? Must
it be on bottom of screen or can it be moved around?
Thanks
Right click on your Taskbar and select Toolbars and then click on Quick
Launch. A Quick Launch Toolbar will be created on your Taskbar. The
initial Quick Launch will have some icons. You can leave them or delete
them as you choose.
Right click on your Taskbar and uncheck Lock the Taskbar. You can now move
your Quick Launch Toolbar any where you want. I have mine at the top of the
display. When done, check Lock the Taskbar.
You can then add icons to your Quick Launch Toolbar by dragging and dropping
from your Desktop. Then you can delete the Desktop icon. If you want to
add programs that are not currently Desktop icon, go to All Programs and
right click on the application and select Create Shortcut and then choose
send to desktop. Then do as above. There are other ways, I just use this
one. You can initially position a new icon on the Quick Launch Toolbar
anywhere you want and move them later if you desire.
IMO, you should then right click on the Quick Launch Toolbar and ensure
that Always on Top and Auto-Hide are checked. Checking Always on Top will
ensure that the Toolbar is available when an application is full screen.
Checking Auto-Hide ensures that the Toolbar disappears when you do not need
it. I find it convenient to disable Auto-Hide when I am adding a new icon
or moving icons on the Toolbar.
