Unclutter your desktop- part 3
Something that is often overlooked is the ability to create your own toolbars. A toolbar can be created that contains any of your folders. Access to that folder is then always available in the taskbar. In part 2 of this series I mentioned making a folder on the desktop to contain shortcuts. You can also create a folder containing shortcuts anywhere convenient and then place the folder in a custom toolbar. Or you can select any folder that you use a lot. Here’s the procedure to create your own toolbar:
- Right-click an empty spot on the Taskbar
- Choose “Toolbars” from the context menu
- Choose “New toolbar”
- Pick the desired folder to place in the toolbar
The process is shown in the figure below:

The procedure is very similar both for Windows XP and for Vista.
