Windows Vista Vista Quick Launch

[Ian]

Perhaps I'm just an idiot (don't answer that please ), but I didn't actually realise what the quicklaunch bar did until today

Of course, I knew that I could drag icons down there and launch them - but I didn't realise that I could use a hotkey based on the icon location.

For example if you have IE as icon 1, Outlook as icon 2 and Media Player as icon 3 these correspond to they launch key. For example, pressing the Windows Key + 1 would launch IE and so on.

Now that is much more useful Was it able to do this in Windows XP too?

Oh well, it only took me 13 years to figure this one out I suspected that might have been that case

Doesn't work for me in XP. Windows Key + 1, 2 ,3 does nothing. Do you have to set it up?
The first icon is Show Desktop, the second Nero, the third Media Player, but nothing happens.
