Know of a good web tutorial somewhere about this?


I'm sure there must be but if Google doesn't turn one up my ancient
"dadiOH's Dandies" has a section in it titled "Taskbars & Toolbars" that
explains it more fully. You can get it at..
http://mysite.verizon.net/xico
It is an old fashioned Help file so has to be downloaded.

Come to think of it, it is also available at a web site (not mine) in
HTML...

Ah Ha! Now I've got it! You've added toolbars, not additional
taskbars. grin From the way you worded it, I got the impression you
could add additional system type taskbars.

In reality, you've added additional toolbars with "sub-toolbars" in each
one, correct?

I've seen the Toolbars option before in Windows, just never investigated
it. But I will now, as I look for more efficient ways for me to use any
computer.

I just did a quick check in Win 8, and even MS has used the words
interchangeably, it seems. The help file starts out about adding new
toolbars, then starts calling them taskbars. Typically MS, IMO. :-(

I wonder if any of the replacement utilities for Win8 to add the Start
Menu and other such things add the missing features back...


Yes, to some extent. I used Classic Shell

As I mentioned earlier, I have Classic Shell installed on a Win 7
netbook, but not sure I want that program on my desktop installations.

Is this what you are looking for? The auto-login feature? I just
tried it in my Win 8 VM and it worked.


Thanks but I have NP logging in automatically. What bugs me is the (in my
case) unnecessary duplication of folders for each user (even if it is only
one).


NP? Drawing a blank here for that acronym. LOL

Are you talking about the duplication of folders for each user under
Documents and Settings?
