Exploring Your Options
Personalizing your desktop
For example, you can personalize the Taskbar to include not
only Quick Launch icons, but also your favorite URL
addresses or local folders and programs.
DEFINITION: URL stands for Universal Resource Locator,
which is the address that defines the route to a file on the
Web or any other Internet facility. Generically, it is known as
the World Wide Web site address.
Having a list of favorite URLs handy saves time because
using it bypasses the need for you to launch your browser
first.
To access all Taskbar options:
1 Point to an empty space in the taskbar and click the
secondary button.
2 Point to Active Desktop and customize your setting.
Bringing the world to your desktop
With Windows Millennium Edition you can set up your
desktop with complete World Wide Web integration at a
single click. As Microsoft Help says, "The Active Desktop
interface lets you put 'active content' from Web pages or a
channel on your desktop. You can make your desktop truly
your own space by adding the active items you refer to on a
regular basis: news, weather, sports, stock prices or
whatever you want to have at hand."
