Customising Desktop
Toolbars  (August 1998).iso/full/W98Comp/IFace/TB18A.gif) You can add your own items
to any of the desktop toolbars (except the Address Bar)
by simply dragging them from another location. An 'item'
on a toolbar is basically a shortcut to something else,
and the general rule is that if you can put a shortcut to
something on the Win 95 desktop, then you can put a
shortcut to it on a toolbar as well.
To place a
shortcut to an application (program) on a toolbar,
open the folder where it's stored, and drag it onto the
toolbar. Win 95 automatically creates a shortcut to the
program. Alternatively you can drag an existing shortcut
onto the toolbar, and Win 95 makes a copy of the shortcut
(Tip - the Start Bar Programs menu folder
and its sub-folders are full of shortcuts. To open the
folder, right-click on the Start Button and choose Open
from the pop-up menu).
To place a
shortcut to a disk folder on a toolbar, open a
browse window (or Windows Explorer), find the folder,
then drag it onto the toolbar. Be careful when you're
doing this, as dragging a folder to the wrong place on
the Task Bar (i.e. not the part of it occupied by the
toolbar) will make Win 95 open a new custom toolbar
containing links to the folder's contents (click here
for more details on creating custom toolbars) Tip - to avoid this problem, drag
the toolbar out onto the desktop before dragging items
onto it.
To place a
shortcut to a Web page on a toolbar, open the page
in the IE browser and drag the current page icon onto the
toolbar. To
delete an item from a toolbar, right-click on its
button and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
