Windows 2000 Taskbar - Toolbar - Put the Desktop in your Taskbar

SUMMARY: How to put shortcut links to your Desktop in the Windows 2000 taskbar.

Do you frequently multitask? If so, all of the windows created by running applications on your Windows 2000 box can quickly cover your desktop. If you'd like, you can make the desktop icons immediately accessible from your taskbar.

Right-click an empty area of your taskbar, choose "Toolbars", and check "Desktop". Your desktop icons will then be immediately accessible without having to minimize your current windows. If you have a lot of desktop icons, click on the two greater-than arrows (">>") to the right of your desktop icons and a popup menu will appear allowing you to select from any of the available desktop icons not immediately visible on your taskbar.
