Add a Map Drive Button to the Toolbar

Do you want to quickly map a drive, but can't find the toolbar button? If you map drives often, use one of these options to add a Map Drive button to the folder toolbar.

Option One (Long Term Fix):

• Click Start, click My Computer, right-click the toolbar, then unlock the toolbars,
if necessary.
• Right-click the toolbar again, and then click Customize.
• Under Available toolbar buttons, locate Map Drive, and drag it into the position you want on the right under Current toolbar buttons.
• Click Close, click OK, and then click OK again.

You now have drive mapping buttons on your toolbar, so you can map drives from any folder window. To unmapped drives, follow the above procedure, selecting Disconnect under

Available toolbar buttons. To quickly map a drive, try this option:

Option Two (Quick Fix):

• Click Start, and right-click My Computer.
• Click Map Network Drive.
If you place your My Computer icon directly on the desktop, you can make this move inonly two clicks!

Do Not Highlight Newly Installed Programs

Tired of that annoying little window that pops up to tell you that new software is
installed? If it gets in the way when you're logging off, turn it off completely.

To do this:

• Click Start, right-click at the top of the Start menu where your name is displayed, and then click Properties.
• In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, on the Start Menu tab, click customize.
• Click the Advanced tab, and then clear the Highlight newly installed programs check box.
• Click OK, and then click OK again.
Now that message won't be popping up when you least want to see it.

Display Your Quick Launch Toolbar

• Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, click Toolbars, and then click Quick
Launch.
• Easy as that your Quick Launch bar appears.
• To add items to your Quick Launch toolbar, click the icon for the program you want to add, and drag it to the Quick Launch portion of the taskbar.
