I look forward to hearing back from you


It's a poor picture, as you say, so it's hard to be sure, but it looks like
you've created a toolbar that reflects the contents of the desktop folder.

Everything there should also be on the desktop, but I have no idea what your
use of some Norton program may have done.

At any rate, look here for your desktop icons: c:\documents and
setting\[your user name]\desktop

Please clarify exactly what "separate location" you mean. There is
no place on the Task Bar where you can put shortcut icons *except*
on the Quick Launch Bar.
