Windows Desktop Help:
Make use of your taskbar and clean up your desktop:
|
Instructions: |
Figure 1 - Shows no Quick Launch and an unlocked taskbar
Figure 2 - Let's bring up the Quick Launch Programs
- Right-Click on a blank area of the taskbar
- Scroll up to Toolbars>Click on Quick Launch
- You'll now see some icons similar to the ones in the picture
- These are shortcuts to programs, folders, etc
- You can move these around, add/delete them, or change what the icon looks like
- Just drag n drop on the taskbar to add another shortcut
Figure 3 - Now we've added the Quick Launch toolbar and locked the Taskbar
- These icons only need to be clicked one time not double-clicked like folders (cool!)
