program, a button for it appears on the taskbar. To move between programs, simply click the
relevant button. Windows XP groups multiple instances of the same program on a single
taskbar button if more space is needed.

Right-click an empty spot on the taskbar, and select Toolbars > choose the toolbar you
want to add.

not checked.
