Bottom Taskbar

[whiskeryron]

Is it possible to add progs to bottom task bar instead of having shortcuts on desktop, for example I have s/cuts on d/top for Inbox (mail), Google, Amazon etc. I am running Windows 7 & my browser is Firefox. The reason I am asking is purely aesthetic, I have very nice changing Wallpapers & having s/cuts spoils the look. I know I can right click them on & off but I wondered if there is a way to have a sort of permanent indication on the bottom task bar instead.

Just drag the icon onto the bottom bar. Good luck

Tenrec correctly states that you can simply drag a desktop icon onto the taskbar. However that won't work if the taskbar is locked. Right-click on the taskbar and check to see whether there's a tick alongside 'Lock the taskbar'. If so, click to remove the tick. (After adding your icons, repeat the process to lock the taskbar again).

Dragging a shortcut icon to the taskbar only copies it. You'll then need to right-click on the desktop icon, and select 'Delete', to remove it.

Alternatively (and probably better) you can clear all of the desktop icons by right-clicking on the desktop and removing the tick alongside 'Show desktop icons' (which is under 'Arrange icons by').

Just right click on whatever you want to put there and select "pin to task bar"
