| - 6-9-03 The Quicklaunch (QL from her on) toolbar is included in Windows 98/ME/2000/XP to enable instant, single click access to your favorite programs, documents, and tools

- To install the QL bar: Right-click on the Taskbar. If "Lock the Taskbar" has a check mark next to it, click on "Lock the Taskbar" to remove the check mark and unlock the task bar
- Right-click the taskbar again, select >Toolbars >Quicklaunch to add QL to the right of the Start button
- Click and drag the vertical divider bar (98/ME/2000) or the vertical dot cluster (XP) to the right to reveal the icons in the QL bar
- To add icons in the QL bar: click, hold, drag and drop any icon into the QL bar. This creates a shortcut in the QL bar. Note that you can do this for programs, tools, folders and even individual documents.
- To delete icons in the QL bar: right click the icon and select delete
- Advanced: to add other toolbars to the Taskbar, including ones for Control Panel, My Documents, and My Computer, Right-click the taskbar again, select >Toolbars >New Toolbar and browse to the location you want added to the taskbar. Very handy for browsing your my Documents folder! (Thanks to Eric M. for that tip!)
