I have about 6 or 7 similar shortcuts on my taskbar (Vista). I did a right click on desktop, chose new shortcut, navigated to what I wanted to open. Next I changed the icon for whatever I was trying to represent. Dragged new shortcut to taskbar and deleted the one on desktop. I have one for c:, one for k: (server where Documents resides), p: (server where Pictures resides), and a few more for particular subdirectories. I have a screen shot of a particular alphabet that I like, and I've cropped letters from it and turned into .ico's, to use instead of the folder icon. Ta-Da - on the taskbar are C, K, P, etc. -- Kathryn Rhinehart Bassett (Pasadena CA) "Genealogy is my bag" "GH is my soap" kathryn at bassett.net http://bassett.net > -----Original Message----- > That is exactly what I was looking for.
