Hello. I'd like to put a button on my taskbar (or maybe two) where if I
click it it takes me to a particular website. How would I do this?
Thanks for any help! |

If you are using the "Quick Launch" Toolbar (enabled by right-clicking the
taskbar and choosing it from the toolbars submenu) you can simply left-click
and drag the icon of the page from the address-bar in your browser into the
quick launch space on your taskbar - that will breate a shortcut to the
site.
Good luck!

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) *and*
your IE version.
How about adding the link to IE Favorites Links folder, then enabling Links
bar?

Thanks for responding. I'm using Win 98 and IE version 6.0.2800.
It is in my Favorites folder but I don't know what you mean by "enabling
Links bar." Thanks again for responding.

Right click Taskbar (to get its context menu)
Hover pointer over "Toolbars" on the context menu
Select which toolbar(s) you want to display |

Thanks for the help. I found a solution that will work by noticing that to
the right of the GO button of the address bar, it says "Links" and "Best of
the Web." I guess that's what the first responder was referring to when he
said to enable the links bar. I didn't know what the links bar was.
Anyway, I selected Properties for the "Best of the Web" icon and put in the
website address for the website I wanted and that worked. I'm kicking myself
for not doing this a long time ago.
Thanks again,
Steve |

In IE 7 you can drag the icon next to your address and drop it in your taskbar.
