How do I make the little tool bar at the bottom by the start menu?? I just want a firefox icon there to open quick windows while online..

If I remember correctly, when you right click the taskbar there should be a submenu for "toolbars". From there choose "Quick Launcher" or similar.

Just drag the shortcut from the start menu into the toolbar.

Depending on your access rights, you can view other accounts folders by going to your Documents and Settings folder (most likely at C:\Documents and Settings)

Then you can open the folder of the account you want and go to My Documents. Pictures should be there.

You could also move anything you want shared between accounts to the Shared Documents folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

That way everyone could access the files you want.

Also, I know you were only looking for quick access to firefox but if you start to fill up your Quick Launch bar with more programs I would suggest downloading something like "Launchy". It's a tiny program that you bring up by pressing a button combination like Alt + Space and you just start typing what you want to open. The program searches through folders you specify and looks for programs (or whatever you want it to) and stores them for quick access.

So to open up Firefox you just press Alt + Space, start typing firefox and press enter. It will usually find the program you want by the time you type 2 letters. Much cleaner than having millions of buttons cluttering your toolbar.
