....First off, this tutorial will show you how to add a dock to Windows XP without any special programs or such.
..........::STEPone::preparing
....Goto My Documents and create a new folder and name it
Icon Dock.
(And yes, I changed the icon.)
..........::STEPtwo::adding
....Next, find any program icons on your desktop or in any folders on your computer and right click then select
Copy Shortcut or just
Copy. Place all the copied Icons into the new folder you created earlier.
..........::STEPthree::creating
....Now, right click on the
Taskbar. If you don't already have
Lock the Taskbar unchecked then do it now. Next, hover over
Toolbars in the menu and click
New Toolbar. Navigate to
My DocumentsIcon Dock and click
OK.
..........::STEPfour::enhancing and positioning
....Now, right click the "Icon Dock" text and hover over the option
View and select
Large Icons. Also uncheck both
Show Text and
Show Title. After that you need to grab the
Gripper beside the
Window Tabs and drag it down; this will position all the icons above the tabs. After that, rearrange the icons as you wish by clicking and holding them and then dragging them back and forth and then you have the option to lock the taskbar up again.
..........::FINALnotes::greater organization
....To acheive greater organization you always have the option of splitting the icons up into groups and adding them to different folders then making multiple toolbars on the taskbar.
