Creating New Taskbar Toolbars

In addition to the predefined taskbar toolbars, you can create new toolbars that display the contents of any folder on your system. For example, if you have a folder of programs or documents that you launch regularly, you can get one-click access to those items by displaying that folder as a toolbar. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Right-click an empty spot on the toolbar and then click Toolbars, New Toolbar. Windows 8 displays the New Toolbar dialog box.

2. Select the folder you want to display as a toolbar. (Alternatively, click New Folder to create a new subfolder within the currently selected folder.)

3. Click Select Folder. Windows 8 creates the new toolbar.
