What "Toolbar" in Windows XP are you referring to?
Internet Explorer?, ... Windows Explorer?,... Notepad?,... ...or, perhaps you mean the "Taskbar" at the very bottom of the Windows XP desktop?,... The latter is called the Quick Launch ToolBar, and is [re] activated by "right-clicking" on an *empty* area of the taskbar at the base of your desktop, and choosing : "Toolbars" "Quick Launch" hope this is of some help... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "John Callaway" wrote in message ...

The latter is called the Quick Launch ToolBar, and is [re] activated by "right-clicking" on an *empty* area of the taskbar at the base of your desktop, and choosing : "Toolbars" "Quick Launch" I've just turned this off and on by following your instructions, and - thanks very much, though I know you didn't intend it! - it has now shrunk. I can see six icons (two rows of three, since I have a double-height toolbar), with next to it a button with "" on it, which when clicked, pops up - temporarily the others. How do I get it back (to where all my quick launch icons are permanently visible, with less space for task buttons) (-:? I've tried dragging that "" button. hope this is of some help... Assuming the OP _did_ mean the QL area, he maybe meant how you actually get further icons into it ... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "John Callaway" wrote in message .. .

XP Toolbar
OK, I'll try to explain this the best I can. I am trying to set up
laptop for my daughter the same way that I have my laptop setup. I don't remember how I set mine up. I have managed to create a new quick launch on the bottom but it has an extra row that I cannot get rid of. So I guess my question is how do I get rid of the extra row and still keep my row of quick launch icons?

So I guess my question is how do I get rid of the extra row and still keep my row of quick launch icons? Reduce the height of the Windows taskbar. Unlock it, position the mouse cursor on the top edge (so it become a double up/down arrow), and drag down to reduce height (which reduces the row count). Then lock the Windows taskbar again. Your reply asks for something completely different than your original request. First you wanted to put icons in a toolbar (QuickLaunch toolbar in the Windows taskbar?). Now you're asking how to alter the height (number of rows) in the Windows taskbar. Not the same thing.
