By: Eugene Reyes Do you have so many shortcuts on your Quick Launch toolbar that they aren't all visible at once? Tired of scrolling left or right to get to them all? For one-click access to all Quick Launch shortcuts, turn this toolbar into a floating palette. See the vertical bar on the left edge of the Quick Launch toolbar? Click it, drag the entire toolbar to a new location on your desktop, and let go. And no, you aren't stuck with that huge resulting window. Resize it as you would any window--hold your mouse pointer over any corner and when it changes to a double-pointed arrow, click and drag in either direction. Move the palette to any location on screen, and you have one-click access to all shortcuts inside. (Tip-in-a-tip: If you want to make sure your Quick Launch palette doesn't get buried by other windows, right-click its title bar and select Always On Top.) Have you decided that you like the toolbar better? In two quick steps, you can put it right back where it started (we're assuming to the right of the Start button, with your Taskbar across the bottom of the screen). Click the palette's title bar and drag it downward until it expands to the full width of the screen (across the top of the Taskbar). Let go, and the toolbar jumps down to its original form, but on the right side of the Taskbar. Now just move the toolbar next to the Start button. Hold your mouse pointer over the bar's left edge, and when it changes to a double-pointed arrow, click and drag the bar to the left. When your mouse pointer is just to the right of the Start button, the Quick Launch toolbar will jump into place there. Let go of the mouse. (Tip: You'll need to resize the other toolbars on the Taskbar to get everything back in perfect order. Hold your mouse pointer over a toolbar's left edge, then click and drag in either direction.)
