[JerraMaya]

hey there is a program or a way in windows XP pro i dunno throw which u can get icons in a toolbar on top of ur desktop if anyone know exactly what i am taking about tell me ok

[Yian]

Oh it's easy. You don't need any program to do that...

Let's assume that you want all your icons in folder "My Document" all appear on top of your toolbar, what you want to do is drag the icon of My Document (better already be on your desktop) to the top of your screen, and the tool bar appears! You can then drag the toolbar to whereever you want, even the middle of the screen like a window!

This is a nice and neat feature of Windows XP that a lot of people never use. I never used it.

thanks Yian , that is a gr8 freature DO USE IT :D

[JerraMaya]

[IkYiolul]

yeah that is cool..never knew.
I like the alternate shells even better,
u can customize EVERYTHING

[Downfall]

yup i now have toolbars that do the whole auto hide thing so now i have no icons on my desktop...and if i want them i just have to drag my mouse to the side or top of the screen

[Yian]

hehehe... I felt good for making positive changes to others...:D :D

[Downfall]

i am trying to convince the guy that lives next to me to use them..he has such a cluttered desktop and he wonders why he never finds anything and why his computer goes so slow.....(it doesnt hel that he had never debuged and usualy leave lots of programs running at once....i know im fairly computer iliterate but this guy is just a fucking computer idiot

[Yian]

Hehehe, what about my roommate? A real fucking dumbass when it comes to the computer... he warned me that one day I will suffer from my "danger practices" I do to my computer... guess what he's talking about? I was updating my graphics card! He said some bullcrap like "you should never open your computer. Leave that to the professionals..." Wow thanks a lot to him we are all gonna "suffer" now...:rolleyes:

Oh by the way, Yian, you can do it in other OS as well. I did it with ME...

Wait a second. If I do it, how come I have the folder on my desk top.

I.E) Made a folder called games. Took the shortcuts, and put them in that folder. Then brought it to the top. It made a tool bar, but folder stays on my desktop. If I delete folder, the icons on the tool bar delete. IK noticed J had no folder on his desktop. How can I do this?

[Downfall]

i am wondering that too........you can make the icons dissapers......(all except the recycle bin for some reason)...i guess you could also rename them to nothing..just pick rename and delete the name.......thats the only way i know how to..im sure theres some technical way to do it but i dont know it

[Yian]

The solution would be dragging the folder directly from where it is, instead of going through the desktop... like if you want to access your babe's pics folder, go to where it is, drag it from the window, then the toolbar is there! You don't need to make a shortcut for everything you want to make into toolbars on the destop.
