custom task bar

[Guest]

on the task bar there are many little icons that I am not very interested in.
These I have hidden. No big problem

What I would realy find useful is to have the little icons of programs I
actualy use loaded onto the task bar when I start the computer.

I am using windows XP home edition on a laptop.

Why not use the Quick Launch section of the taskbar (on the left).

To open Quick Launch,
Right Click an empty part of the taskbar
Mouse to Toolbars
Click on Quick Launch

Then set up a shortcut on the desktop for the program you want and drag it
to Quick Launch.
An icon will appear and you can click on it to open the progam.

I have these in Quick Launch:
Inernet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Outlook Express
Show Desktop (which is a default)

I find these very useful
