My Windows Desktop is a shambles...
CodeTRUCKER:
@App,
I have a curiosity about your taskbar. I suspect by the way it appears, it is set on the right of your screen probably using the Auto-hide property. I know it is a matter of personal taste, but given the scrollbars are on the right, I was curious how you decided on the right side? Does it give you any advantage or was it just the whim of the day?

The individual icons in your quick launch is spectacular though. You are on XP? That's amazing. :)

This is something that has been possible to do, since at least Win98. I don't have any screenshots of my taskbar from that OS, but I do have an old one from my 2nd pc from about 2002, which ran WinME:

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I still keep drive icons at the top and games at the bottom. Even the positions of some of the icons haven't changed. Paintshop Pro and Animation Shop are still the first 2 shortcuts on the Art row.

Yes. Since it is fully extended, there would be no other way to do it without losing half the available desktop space.

It was the whim of my father and by his explanation, he felt it was more mentally ergonomic to have the start button on the right side, if you were right handed.
At one point, I even toyed with 2 massive toolbars, one on each side. :D

Kudos to your dexterity with the mouse! I tried a right-side taskbar, but drove myself crazy every time I went for a scrollbar.

there are lots of different "launch bar" / dock programs you can use for this -- mine is just one.

I'm a software-aholic. I've tried a lot of launchers. Mouser's LBC is the best. Between that and FARR, I have no need for desktop icons. I have zero icons on my desktop. I can launch any program faster than you can even finish minimizing a window.

Most grateful if you can detail your setups for LBC and FARR - thanks
