    How to Create a toolbar in Windows Vista

    For those who want to create a simple toolbar in vista on the desktop or the taskbar, and without installing software, here's how to Create a toolbar in Vista:

    Create a toolbar on the desktop
    Just drag / move the partition or folder you want to have appear on your desktop, to one side of the screen which is not the taskbar. (must exceed the record of the screen so that it works)

    Create a toolbar on the taskbar
    Right-click the taskbar> Toolbar> New Toolbar ...
    Select the folder you want to appear as a toolbar.

    Customizing a toolbar
    The toolbars are somewhat customizable with a simple right click on it. (for a toolbar on the taskbar, it must be unlocked)

    You can also add your own custom toolbar in Vista and pin it to the side of your monitor, Here’s how.

    Step 1. Right click the Desktop, click new and then folder. Name it whatever you want to call your new toolbar.

    Step 2. In the folder your going to place shortcuts to whatever you want on your toolbar. Right click your favorite programs icon, links to your favorite photos, or links to a web page and drag them into the folder and choose create shortcut here.

    Step 3. Now drag the folder to any edge of your screen (upper, lower or side). When it “hits” the edge, the folder creates a toolbar of its contents.

    Step 4. Right click the name of the folder at the top of the toolbar, and you can choose the size of the icons and whether to display text (file or folder names) with the icons. For applications, you might want to use just icons.
