Display the Quick Launch Bar

If you have opened more than one program, you might like to display and use the Quick Launch bar. The Quick Launch bar makes it easy to access frequently used programs like Windows Media Player and your e-mail, and to open an Internet Explorer window. Windows XP loads several programs in the Quick Launch, including Show Desktop. One click on Show Desktop minimizes all the programs on your desktop. Another click restores them just as you'd left them. To display Quick Launch on
the taskbar

1. If the Quick Launch bar is
not displayed, right-click an
empty area on the taskbar
and click Properties.

2. On the Taskbar tab, under
Taskbar appearance, select
the Show Quick Launch check
box and click OK.
After Quick Launch is
displayed, click Show
Desktop to minimize all open
programs.
