Quick Launch buttons on windows

Re: the Quick Launch icons at the bottom right of the screen, next to the start button.

Does anyone know how you can add programs to it? I've been able to delete the ones I don't want, but I can't see how to add new ones to it?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Apologies if this is a stupid question!

drag an icon on top of it.

Thanks for that.

Do you know if it's possible to make that area wider? At present there are only 3 icons showing, with a double arrow icon you have to click if there are any more programs there.

ie, is it possible to show more than 3 things there, without having to press that arrow button?

Right click the taskbar then select unlock then drag the perferated edge along to the right then re-lock taskbar.

Right click on tool bar. Uncheck 'lock toolbar'. Stretch to size you want then lock toolbar again

How do you delete some the icons in this part of the screen?

I'm talking about the icons beside the clock. I don't get an option to delete when I right click. Running XP BTW

Right click on the toolbar.... choose properties, then on the taskbar tab, choose customise which is near the bottom.

Then you can choose, always hide, always show, or hide when inactive.
