I was refering to Quick launch task bar, not that seen when you press Start

Thanks for your reply DL.
Are you storing data files on the Desktop? If so not a good idea
Typically, the only data files I put on the desktop are software
installation downloads, and they remain there only long enough to install
the
product.
If they are Application shortcuts, that you rarely use, delete them, you
can
still start the App from Programs
The shortcuts for applications that I rarely use are helpful to keep on
the
desktop for that very reason: if I don't keep them on the desktop, I
forget
that I have them! LOL. But your point is well taken, and I do frequently
go
back and remove old, unused shortcuts and the associated applications that
I
expect never to use again.
Frequently used shortcuts can be placed in the Quick launch
Doesn't Windows automatically keep updating the Quick Launch list with the
most recently used shortcuts? If that is the case, can I "lock" certain
shortcuts so that Windows does not automatically push them off the list?
Do
you know of a link to a good explanation of how to use and maintain Quick
Launch?
Thanks,
Phil

My desktop is nearly filled with shortcut icons and I find myself
frequently
needing to remove existing icons to make room for newer ones. The irony
is
that, on a daily basis, I probably access no more than five or so of
these
icons in any given day. It would be convenient to get the 95% of the
icons
that I use, say, 2-3 times a year, out of the way without completely
deleting
them from the desktop.
Is there a way to define multiple desktop configurations? If so, I
could
define a NORMAL desktop for the 5-10 shortcuts that I use almost all
the
time, and a second one for the rest. I hardly ever use the Quick Launch
stuff, so maybe I don't fully appreciate how that feature might be
helpful.
Doesn't it change dynamically and pretty much on-its-own? Or, is there
a
way
for me to put shortcuts there and not have them disappear?
TIA,
Phil
