| | Toolbar on desktop Is there any way to build a toolbar on the desktop like we used to have in 2002? I really need this. I have a ton of shortcuts that I use all the time. They were very handy in the sidebar. I can't believe MS has not put this back in because I see a lot of people asking for this. Can anyone help? Thanks, please send reply to support@xxxxxx |

| | Re: Toolbar on desktop The Desktop toolbar is still there if that is what you mean. It is still activated by right clicking on the taskbar, selecting Toolbars, and choosing Desktop.

| | Re: Toolbar on desktop Windows XP is listed as XP 2002 on the General Tab of the System Properties page. That is actually its name. It got the moniker because it released in the second half of 2001, which was during MS's fiscal year 2002. MS gives year-based product names based on release in their fiscal year, not calendar year. Thus anything that gets a year designation that releases between July 1 and December 31 gets named for the following year (calendar).
