Quick Launch

[KIR]

Using XP Home SP3

It seems that I can only have 3 icons displayed in the quick launch bar. I
have a 4th but I can't get it to openly show along with the other 3. Any
help on how to get the 4th icon to show up on the quick launch bar would be
appreciated. Thanks.

The Taskbar is locked. Right-click the Taskbar, and on the menu that
appears, there is probably a check marl next to "Lock the Taskbar."
Click "Lock the Taskbar" to remove the check mark.

Now a double dotted line will appear on either side of the Quick Launch
bar. Assuming the QL bar is right next to the Start button, put your
mouse pointer on the dotted line to the right of the QL bar, so the
pointer turns into a double-headed arrow.

Click and hold the left mouse button, and drag the dotted line to the
right, till the QL bar is as long as you want it, then release the mouse
button. You can then go back and lock the Taskbar if you like, or you
can leave it unlocked if you prefer.

Enlarge the Quick Launch Bar by sliding the divider at its end farther
to the right.
