"CHANGE QUICK LAUNCH TOOLBAR INTO PALETTE Do you have so many shortcuts on your Quick Launch toolbar that they aren't all visible at once? For one-click access to all of them, turn this toolbar into a floating palette.
Click the vertical bar on the left edge of the Quick Launch toolbar, drag the entire toolbar to a new location on your desktop, and release the mouse button. And don't worry--you aren't stuck with that huge resulting window. Resize it as you would any window--hold your mouse pointer over any corner, and when the pointer changes to a double-pointed arrow, click and drag in either direction. Move the palette to any location on screen, and you've got one-click access to all shortcuts inside.
(Tip-in-a-tip: If you want to make sure your Quick Launch palette doesn't get buried by other windows, right-click its title bar and select Always On Top.)
Want your toolbar back? We'll show you how to return it to the Taskbar in our next tip.
CHANGE QUICK LAUNCH PALETTE INTO TOOLBAR In our last tip, we showed you how to change your Quick Launch toolbar into a floating palette: Click the vertical bar on its left edge, drag the entire toolbar bar to a new location on your desktop, and release the mouse button. From there, you can size or move the palette, just as you would any other window.
Just decide you like the toolbar better? In a few quick steps, you can put it right back where it started. Click the palette's title bar and drag it downward until it expands to the full width of the screen (across the top of the Taskbar). Release the mouse button, and the toolbar jumps down to its original form--but on the right side of the Taskbar.
To move the toolbar next to the Start button, hold your mouse pointer over the bar's left edge, and when the pointer changes to a double-pointed arrow, click and drag the bar to the left. When your mouse pointer is just to the right of the Start button, the Quick Launch toolbar will jump into place there.
(To get everything back in perfect order, you'll need to resize the other toolbars on the Taskbar. As a quick review, hold your mouse pointer over a toolbar's left edge, then click and drag in either direction.)" |
