Right click on your Start button and select Properties from the menu.
Click on the Taskbar tab.
On the Taskbar page, put a check mark in the box next to "Show Quick Launch".
Click OK.
You can now drag and drop shortcuts onto the Quick Launch Toolbar.
If you want, you can go to this folder and create shortcuts manually.
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURACCOUNT\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch
Note: Substitute that appropriate entry where you see YOURACCOUNT.
As you add shortcuts to the Quick Launch toolbar it will create a double headed
arrow that when clicked on will display any shortcuts that don't fit. If you
want all the shortcuts to appear, right click on an open spot on your Taskbar at
the bottom of the screen and click on "Lock the Taskbar" if it's checked. Once
the Taskbar is unlocked you can either slide the dotted bar to the right or
raise the height of your Taskbar.
Good luck
