OK here’s a tricky question. How could I make my desktop appear in the taskbar, but only the files/folders that I put there and not all the stuff that appears usually (i.e. computer, network etc. etc.) So I just want the files/folders that I put there to appear and when I delete them, nothing should appear. I’m not sure if I explained it clearly enough. Thanks!

I’m trying to put “my computer” on my desktop but the directions are not clear. I need it in black & white.

Um…think about it… for me its 21:16pm … depends on where he was at…

On another forum… all times are central…even if it comes from the other side of the planet so some will seem to be posting in the wee hours.

I wonder if thats similar here.

But for me… if I cant customize which ‘my computer drives’ show up…its overkill for me having too many media drives…

What I have works for me…and if I cant have the above idea exclude the media drives which will usually rarely have stuff in them (on demand per cameras)…then nope, it aint worth it.

For the basic user, yes this is a great idea, I do in fact use similar on my other small machines.

Another way is to right click on the desktop and choose Personalize. In the window that opens on the top left click on Change desktop icons. Next tick on the Computer or Network icon. That will place it on the desktop. To move it onto your taskbar right click on the taskbar and choose Open Folder. Next drag the desktop icon into the open folder and close it. Once on the taskbar you can drag the icons into the order you want them. This works great with the taskbar on Auto-hide.

but in vista,xp,milenium,2000,98,97 you could put that bar anywhere you want it, in windows 7 i m only able to put it in the task bar which is rather pointless, is their any way to reposition invidual tool bars to various sides of the screen,

my usual setup on all previous versions of windows has ben like this, my computer bar on the top of the monitor, desktop bar on the right side, i havnt found a way o do this on win7 yet, any ideas.

I like it except for it putting all the items of My Computer out.
I have 5 hd’s and 6 ‘removables so it clutters up the taskbar unecessarily.
If it could menu it up … I would consider this a great idea.
But its too much clutter for me.
