How to place Quick Lauch icons in first row ABOVE minimized task icons in the second row ?

[Camille Petersen]

From Win2000 I know that I can adjust my Task bar as follows:
By dragging the top boundary of the taskbar I can create a two-line task bar.
In the first (upper) line/row I placed all my quick launch icons and in the
second (lower) line/step all minimized task windows are visible.

This works fine in Win2000.

In contrast I can NOT do the same in WinXP.
WinXP allows (as far as I noticed) only a vertical split.
In other words: In the two lines left of the dotted line all quick launch icons
are put whereas right of it all minimized tasks appeared.

The top line/row cannot be used for quick launch icons only
and the lower line/row cannot be used for minimized tasks only.

Or is there an option which allows me to adjust exactly this configuration ?

After you create the taskbar to be 2 lines. grab the dotted line and
drag it all the way to the right until you dont see the dotted line
anymore, and that should create your two vertical bars. the quick
launch on the top and minimized on the bottom

i just did that with my xp machine and it worked fine.

Hi Camille,

Yes, you can adjust that configuration to have Quick Launch icons in the top
line and minimized windows in the bottom line.

Once you have resized your taskbar, click and drag the divider line (dotted
line?) that is on the right-hand side of the Quick Launch icons until all
Quick Launch icons are displayed in a single line.
Now, go to the divider line that is to the left of the Quick Launch icons,
to the immediate right of the Start button, click and drag it upward to the
top of the Taskbar. The divider line should split, creating an upper level,
where the Quick Launch icons appear, and a lower level, where minimized
windows appear.

The above assumes that your taskbar is at the bottom of the screen. Adjust
the directions accordingly if your Taskbar is placed elsewhere on your
screen.

Another choice he may want to consider is dragging the quick lanch bar off
the task bar entirely and docking it on another side of the screen.

LFR>>>is very easy to do:
1-unlock your task bar
2-change the hight of your tasck bar to two lines
3-You see dots lines between quick launch and the minimize windows, with
yuor mouse click here and drag to the second line(bottom) and the minimize
windows is going to show at the bottom now and the quick at the top
4-lock your task bar again
