Vista - Moving Icons

With Windows XP I was used to have the icons of the most used programs in
the Task Bar by Start, so that I could call up a program, when the Desktop
was used by other ones e.g. internet. Is there a way to do the same in
Windows Vista Business?

Hasn't changed. Drag shortcuts there.
Or right click a program and choose CREATE SHORTCUT, then drag to the
task bar.

Be sure the bar isn't locked first. Right click it and empty area and
note the drop-down menu.

You're talking about the Quick Launch bar. Yes it's the same in Vista.
Right click a blank area of the Taskbar. On the Taskbar tab put a tic mark
in Show Quick Launch.

To add an item to the Quick Launch navigate to that time in Start, right
click on it, and select Add to Quick Launch.
