    I am wondering if it is possible to create a customized toolbar on the desktop in XP? Bsically I would like a toolbar on the desktop that will have 3 folders that I frequently have to access. I havent used XP for so long and I cant recall if you can and how! Thanks!

    You'll need to create a new folder on the desktop that contains shortcuts to the three folders you want to access. Then you'll drag that folder onto the upper edge of the screen and let go. A toolbar should appear.
