Hello all..... or you can put all your Desktop Icons in a toolbar at the top of the
page in XP and hide it till you mouse is near it.......
1. Go to my Doc's and make a new folder and call it ( My Toolbar ).
2. Right click the Task bar ( Bootom bar ) and click Lock the task bar so the tick
is not there anymore.
3. Now right click the taskbar again and select Toolbars and select New tool bar
at the bottom.
4. Now a Box comes up asking you where you want to save to. Select the ( My Toolbar
in my Doc's you made in step 1 ).
5. Now if you look at the task bar ( bottom right ) again you will see My Tool bar.
Click, hold and drag to the top of the screen, now you will see a Toolbar at the
top.
6. Now go back to My Doc's and open your ( My toolbar folder ) and drag all your
desktop Icons in this folder except the Recycle bin.
7. Now right click on your new toolbar at the top of the page and select ( view )
large or small and then show text so the tick has gone and make sure you tick ( Always
on top ) and you can also tick ( Auto Hide ) ect.... what ever you like.
8. Now Go back to your taskbar again ( Bottom ) and right click again and select
( lock the taskbar ) so the the tick is showing..
9. Thats it looks good and keeps the destop clean no software.... Any Problems send
me a message....Cheers..
