How do I make a custom tool bar on XP??
 

Yeah for like Fire Fox and whatnot..

Right click the taskbar --> Toolbars --> Quick Launch

Is that what you want?

Think THAT might be what he's after.

I want the one by the start menu..

So a Quick Launch icon on your toolbar?

Just drag and drop the program onto the tool bar.

I just want to have a firefox quick launch icon by the start menu.. I know I've used XP comps with that..

However you currently start Firefox - it may be an icon on your desktop or an .exe file in Explorer - whichever way you currently open Firefox, simply drag and drop THAT onto the toolbar next to the start menu - that will create your quick launch icon.

Nah, tried that already..

Is the taskbar 'locked'?

Check by right clicking on the taskbar and make sure 'lock the taskbar' doesn't have a check mark.

It was but it still didn't work.. There is a little line by the start menu, that when hovered over looks like it would open up but doesn't.. When I drag and drop a black "no" symbol (circle with a line through it) pops up over the firefox icon..

:(

Did you try my suggestion yet?

Because if I try to drag an icon into the taskbar without enabling the quick launch, I get what you get.

Yeah that worked.. For some reason (weed) I tried right click the taskbar --> Toolbars --> New Tool Bar instead of Quick Launch..

Thanks, gents..
