Windows 2000 Taskbar - Toolbar

Manipulate the QuickLaunch Taskbar Area

SUMMARY: Access your most-used applications faster by learning how to manipulate the Windows 2000 QuickLanch area.
 
You know the QuickLaunch area of the taskbar, directly to the left of the taskbar area that contains the currently running programs? Usually an icon for Internet Explorer is here, along for other software packages.

While this area may contain some software you use often, perhaps there are other pieces of software that would prove useful here. To add software to the QuickLaunch area, just drag and drop an application from Explorer or the Desktop to the QuickLaunch bar and it is added.

Need to delete something from the QuickLaunch bar? Right-click an icon and choose "Delete", then confirm.

You can click and drag the QuickLaunch slider between the QuickLaunch area and currently running programs area of the Taskbar to increase / decrease the QuickLaunch area's size.
