[bcab] Re: Placing Internet Explorer and Outlook Express On Task Bar

Thank you very much for this David. I used the incorrect terminology when I referred to it as the Task Bar so my apologies to Chris. It is of course the Quick Launch area.

Hi Eleanor,
In Windows XP, the programs that appear in the quick launch toolbar next to the start button are shortcuts in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
where USERNAME is your username. So, you just need to copy and paste shortcuts to internet explorer and outlook express to that folder. You may have these shortcuts on your desktop, but if not you can just copy the relevent menu items from the all programs menu.
The one potential snag is that sometimes the length of the quick launch tool bar is too small to show all the programs. I'm not sure how to change it's length using the keyboard. 

David.

How do I do this please? I have the NC10 and I do not have any programmes on the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes I like if I am in a Word document just to go down and open either of the said programmes without having 
to minamise the word document or to go through the Start Menu.#
