Windows 98 Taskbar - Toolbar

Create a Desktop Toolbar

SUMMARY: Access desktop icons directly from a Windows 98 toolbar.

Although the "Shortcut to Show Desktop" icon lets you immediately access the items on your desktop, that may not be good enough for some people. Some people want the desktop icons directly accessible from the taskbar. With Windows 98, you can do so. Just right-click the taskbar and choose "Toolbars," then "Desktop" from the popup menu that appears.

Return to the Windows 98 Taskbar - Toolbar page.
