Quick Launch Task Bar

Right-click on the Taskbar and check to see if the Taskbar is Locked. If
so, unlock the taskbar and do what Ken said.

My way is to create a completely separate Quick Launch for you without
changing the Default one under C:\Document and .....\Quick Launch folder

I moved my quick launch bar to the left as suggested and I really like it
that way except when I have anything opened to full screen, it's covered up.
I use this a lot to get back easily to the desktop rather than minimizing
each open window. Is there a way to keep is visible at all time, like the
task bar?
