Sending to the Quicklaunch Toolbar

[Colin Barnhorst]

Remember how you used to drag and drop those icons onto the Quicklaunch
Toolbar in earlier versions of Windows? There is a new option for that in
Vista. Right click on a program on your desktop and look at the context
menu. It now has a new item called "Add to Quick Launch."

Now you don't have to drag and drop if you don't want to.

Glad you like it. It was my suggestion.

And a very good suggestion it was too, Colin

Good tip Colin. Thing is, once you get the ole quick launch loaded with a
ton of things in Windows Any Flavor it takes a while to launch so I ended up
in XP making a shortcut of the folder. I found I just ended up once it got
that full either reaching the destinations from the run box/combination
address bar in the taskbar of made a shortcut of them. I think it's real
progress I have 9 items on my Vista quick launch instead of 900. So it
seems there is a limit of how many things you put on it before it takes a
while to popup but probably a long way from the couple hundred or so I
think I have on XP.

Wow. I thought I had too many at 10.
