How To Access Your Folders From Your Taskbar?

This is an easy way to get to de folders on your system without havin’ to open a Windows Explorer Window every time you want to access files. I find it very useful to have this feature as it allows me to access my Folders and Drives immediately and saves me a lot of time.

This works in Windows XP:

1. Right Click an empty spot on your Taskbar (Between your Start Button and your System Tray).
2. Click Toolbars.
3. Click New Toolbar.
4. A Small Window will Open that allows you to pick de folder you wish to make a Toolbar. If you want to access your Desktop Without havin’ to minimize all your windows. Just Pick Desktop. If you want to access ONLY your My Documents Folder, Select that. Any folder will work for this.
5. Click OK.
The New Tool bar will appear at de bottom of your screen next to your System Tray.

If you find this to be not useful, Repeat Steps 1 and 2 and den check click de Toolbar you created that has a check mark next to it. And it will disappear.
