is there any way to put a shortcut on taskbar?

Not directly - what you need to do is right click on the task bar and choose the Toolbar menu item then select Quick Launch Toolbar. This will add a different section to the taskbar that may already have some icons in there - a single click on these will launch the associated program ( usually comes with IE and OE icons as well as a couple of others ). To put another shortcut in this Quick Launch Toolbar - click on the icon on the desktop and hold the button down whilst dragging onto the Quick Launch section ( the cursor will change to a black I when it's in the correct place ). Now let go of the mouse button and there will be your icon to use :-) HTH -- Best regards, Barry mailto:barry@yobunny.co.uk MicroSoft Free Zone running Xandros 2.0 Deluxe

To create a shortcut to Favorites in the Quick Launch task bar, you first need to have Quick Launch enabled. To do this right click an empty spot on the Taskbar and select QUICK LAUNCH from the context menu. You should now see the Quick Launch area at the left hand end of the Taskbar. To get a shortcut to FAVORITES in here using XP, navigate to: C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Favorites Depress the right key of your mouse and "drag" the FAVORITES folder icon down into the Quick Launch area. Release the right button and select CREATE SHORTCUT HERE from the context menu. You should now see a little "star" icon there. When you click on this, your Favorites folder (at the above address) will open in Explorer. The point to consider though is a shortcut there really necessary? After all the link to FAVORITES shows, of course in IE. It also shows in the toolbar in Explorer. It is available for adding to the toolbar in Outlook (not Outlook Express); and all the other programs available in MS Office. You can also create a HTML file of your FAVORITES by exporting them to a folder on your Desktop, if needed.
