Windows XP Taskbar - Toolbar - Start Menu

Remove Quick Launch Icon

SUMMARY: Delete shortcuts on the Windows XP Taskbar to software programs you rarely access.

The Quick Launch area on the left side of the Windows XP Taskbar displays links to programs such as Internet Explorer and other software you may frequently use. However, as you install more software on your system, icons to programs may appear that you rarely ever access. If these are clogging up the Quick Launch area, you can delete a shortcut icon by right-clicking it and choosing "Delete".

Note that if you have a lot of icons, you'll need to click on the double-arrow button on the right side of the Quick Launch area to view them all. You can delete icons here by right-clicking them and selecting "Delete" as well.
