Honest, it's not there.......

I think I just realised what you are saying. "Toolbar" and "Taskbar" are two totally separate things.

Mark · 28-08-2007, 09:26

Yes, they are. It's the toolbar you want.

Darrin · 28-08-2007, 11:42

Ah, see. I don't have any toolbars, so....

Mark · 28-08-2007, 11:46

Me neither. They get in the way of perfectly usable taskbar space.

I like the quick launch toolbar, it means I have quick and easy access to applications or folders whatever I'm doing without having to bugger about in the start menu, or go back to the desktop. I also use it to save cluttering up my desktop with icons - I currently have no icons on my desktop, meaning I can gaze undisturbed at the beauty of Christina Ricci

I hate to see desktops with dozens of icons all over them. I know when I go to Shetland next, my dad will have the desktop full of them and it'll annoy me and I'll want to move everything - but I can't, because the poor old sod wouldn't be able to find anything

I have the Start menu set to small icons with 16-20 programs in the list. I find with it set like that that most things I would want to use regularly tend to stay within easy reach, plus I don't have to do anything special to get things into that list.

Remove that, view menu should appear.

D'oh! Yep, you're right.
Now done. Also thanks Mark, tis indeed the quicklaunch toolbar I specifically wanted.

Like Stan, I much prefer to have the icons on there so I can use the desktop for displaying whichever piccy has currently taken my fancy (fnarr) in its full glory

Just one other question: anyone know how to get rid of the recycle bin icon? I've got it set to delete with confirmation rather than put stuff into the bin. I know TweakXP and similar will do it, I'd just rather not install something just for that though if there's a better way.
