* View lets you change thesize of the icons on the toolbar. ° Open Folder works only with the Quick Launch and Links toolbars (or toolbars
`find a blank spotto right-click. The resulting shortcut menu offers these choices:
`
`won't see the toolbar’s shortcut menu. When you're finished making changes to the
`toolbar, lock the taskbar again if you wish.)
`
`Tip: How much horizontal taskbar space a toolbar consumes is up to you. Drag the perforated borderat
`the left edge of a toolbar to make it wideror narrower. That's a good pointto remember #f, in fact, you can’t
`
`you've created yourself}. It opens a window thatlists what’s in the toolbar, so that
`you can delete or rename theicons. (Of course, you can also delete or rename any
`icon on these toolbars by right-clicking it and choosing Delete or Rename from
`the shortcut menu. But the Open Folder commandis a better bet when you're
`performing more extensive surgery on the toolbar, since you're able to work in a
`window that isn’t nearly as claustrophobic as the toolbaritself.)
`
`* Show Text identifies each toolbar icon with a text label.
`
`* Show Title makes the toolbar’s name (such as “Quick Launch”or “Desktop”) ap-
`pear on thetoolbar.
`
`* Close Toolbar makes the toolbar disappear.
`
`+ Always on Top and Auto-Hide appear on a toolbar’s shortcut menu only when
`you've detached the toolbar, turning it into a floating palette as described in the
`next section. They make any toolbar asflexible as the taskbar, at least when it comes
`to hiding itself on cue.
`
`If you turn on Always on Top, then document windows cart cover up your toolbar.
`And if you turn on Auto-Hide, a toclbar that you've attached to one edge of your
`screen hides almost completely, until you point to it with your cursor,

`

`Moving toolbars
`
`You don’t need to keep toolbars on the taskbar; you can move them to any spot on
`
`the screen that you find handy, as shown in Figure 2-18. (The taskbar mustfirst be
`unlocked,as described on page 96.) To return the toolbar toits original location, drag
`its title bar back onto the taskbar.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Figure 2-18:
`
`To park a toolbarin a different location, drag upward on
`the “perforated”handle attheleft edge (top). The result is a
`
`strange sort of floating toolbar (bottom); it’s now an onscreen,
`
`perpetually available launcher. (Use tooltips, or choose Show
`
`Text from its shortcut menu, to identify the icons.) Ifyou drag
`
`the toolbar to an edge of the screen, if glues itself there like a

`
`
`Creating teelibars
`The Quick Launch area of the taskbar is such a delightthat you may actually develop
`a syndromecalled Quick Launch Envy—you'll find that havingonly oneisn’t enough.
`You might wish to create several different Quick Launch toolbars, each stocked with
`the iconsfor a different project or person. One could contain iconsforall the chapters
`of a book you're writing; another could list only your games.
`Fortunately, it’s easy to create as manydifferent custom toolbars as you like, each of
`- which behaves exactly like the Quick Launchtoolbar.
`Theshort way
`Windows XP creates toolbars fromfolders; so before creating a toolbar ofyour own,
`
`you must create a folder (unless you already havea folder that’s filled with the stuff
`youwant to toolbarize).
`
`Here’sthe easiest waytoturn afolderinto atoolbar:Just drag the folder icon untilyour
`
`
`ctirsorstrikes the edge of your monitor (any edge except the one wherethe taskbar
`is):‘When youlet go, you'll see a brand-new toolbar whose buttonslist the contents of
`
`theffolder you just dragged. From here,it behaves justlike any other toolbar. You can
`right-click itto make the icons smaller, you can drag it into the center of the screen
`to.makeit a floating palette, and so on.

`
`The long way
`The drag-and-drop methodis new to Windows XP, The old wayis still around, how-
`ever, forpeople whobill by the hour.
`
`To begin, right-click a blank spot on the taskbar. From the shortcut menu, choose
`Toolbars—+New Toolbar to open the New Toolbar dialog box, as shown in Figure 2-
`19. Find and click the folder you want, and thenclick OK.
`
`

`The majorfolders of your computer are displayedin the
`New Toolbar dialog box, Click the + sign to expand a disk

`you find the folder you're seeking. Or you can create a
`new folder for your toolbar anywhere on the hard drive.

`
`‘| very disk, folder,file, application, printer, and networked computer is repre-
`i sented on your screen by an icon. To avoid spraying your screen with thou-
`dsands of overlapping icons seething like snakes in a pit, Windows organizes
`icons into folders, puts those folders into other folders, and so on.
`
`This folder-in-a-folder-in-a-folder scheme worksbeautifully at reducing screen clut-
`ter, but it means that you've got some hunting to do whenever you want to open a
`particular icon.
`
`Helping you navigate and manage yourfiles, folders, and disks with less stress and
`greater speed was oneof the primary design goals of Windows—andofthis chap-
`ter.
`
`
`Tip: To create a new folder to hold your icons, right-click where you want the foider to appear (on the
`desktop, or in any desktop window except My Computer), and choose New—Folder from the shortcut
`menu. The new folder appears with is temporary “New Folder” namehighlighted. Type a new namefor
`the folder and then press Enter,

`
`The Folders of Windows XP
`
`
`
`Thetop-level, all-encompassing, mother-ship window ofyour PC is the My Computer
`window. From within this window,you have access to every disk, folder, and file on
`your computer. Its slogan might well be: “If it’s notin here, it’s not on your PC”
`To see it, choose Start—+My Computer, or double-click its icon on the desktop,if
`you've putit there (page 22). (Andifit is on your desktop, remember that you can
`renameit somethingthat’s a little more, well, dignified,by clicking it and then press-
`ing the F2 key.)
`No matter how you open the My Computer window (Figure 3-1), you generally see
`several categories of icons:
`
`
`
`

`for any folder-digging you want

`icon of a removabie-disk drive
`(like your CD-ROM drive, Zip
`drive, or Jaz drive), you receive
`only an error message unless
`there's actually a disk in the drive.

`
`
`Hard Disk Drives. These icons, of course, represent your PC’s hard drive (or drives,
`ifyou've installed or attached additional ones). Most people, mostofthe time, are
`most concerned with the Local Disk (C:), which represents the internal hard drive
`preinstalled in your computer, (You're welcome to renamethis icon, by the way,
`just as you would any icon.)
`
`* Files on This Computer. This category appears only ifyour computer is a member
`of a workgroup, notif it’s part of a domain network (see page 19). These folders,
`which bear the names of people with accounts on that PC (page 513), store links
`to all files and preferences for each person.
`» Devices with Removable Storage. Here, Windowsis talking about your floppy
`drive, CD or DVD drive, Zip drive, USB flash drive, and so on.
`
`
`Tip: Ordinarily, ifyour name is, say, Chris, youre notallowed to open the Frank's Documenis folder;if you've
`been given a Limited XP account (page 517), then double-clickingit produces only an error message. That's
`the Windows XP security system at work.
`
`But My Computeralso contains a foldercalled Shared Documents. This folderis like the community bulletin
`board,in that everybody whouses this PC is free to deposit things, takethings out, and read whateverresides
`there. See Chapter 20 for details.
`
`> Scanners and Cameras, This is where you see the iconsfor any digital cameras or
`scanners you've installed.
`
`° Other. You mayalso see a Control Panel icon here—if,for example, you addedit
`as directed on page 87.
`
`What's in the Local Disk (C:) Windew
`You might be surprised to learn that your main hard drive window doesn’t actually
`contain anything muchthat’s useful to you, the PC’s human companion.It’s organized
`primarily for Windows’ own benefit.
`
`If you double-click the Local Disk C: icon in My Computer—thatis, your primary
`hard drive’s icon—a direly worded messagelets you know thatthesefiles are hidden.
`“This folder contains files that keep your system working properly,’ it says. “You should
`not modify its contents.” (Figure 3-2 shows a similar message.)
`All of this important-sounding proseis aimed at the kind of person who,before the
`invention ofthis warning message, fearlessly or naively cruised through the important
`system files of their PCs, deleting and movingfiles until the computer was inoperable
`{and then calling Microsoft for tech support).
`‘Truth is, the C: drive also containsa lot of stuff that doesn’t belong to Windows—in-
`cluding yourfiles. So when you're just looking (but not touching) the Windowssys-
`tem files, or when you wantto burrow aroundin your own folders, it’s perfectly OK
`to click the “Show the contents of this folder”link. Suddenly the C: drive’s formerly
`invisible contents appear. They include these standard folders:

`
`
`
`
`Decuments and Settings
`Windows XP has been designed from the ground up for computer sharing. Is ideal
`for any situation where different family members, students, or workers share the
`same machine.
`
`In fact, in Windows XP, each person whouses the computer will tarn on the machine
`to find his own securesetoffiles, folders, desktop pictures, Web bookmarks,fontcol-
`lections, and preference settings. (Secure,at least, from other people who don’t have
`administrative accounts. Much more about this feature in Chapter 17.)
`
`Like it or not, Windows considers you one of these people. If you're the only one
`who uses this PC, fine—you can simply ignore the sharing features. But in its little
`software head, Windows XP still considers you an account holder, and stands ready
`to accommodate any others who should come along.
`
`In any case, now you should see the importance ofthe DocumentsandSettingsfolder.
`Inside are folders namedforthe different people who use this PC. In general, Limited
`account holders (page 517) aren’t allowed to open anybodyelse’sfolder.
`
`If youre the sole proprietor ofthe machine, there's only one accountfolder here—and
`it’s named for you, of course. If not, there’s a folder here for each person who has
`an account on this PC. (As noted above, if your PC isn’t part of a corporate domain
`network,icons for these folders also appear in the My Computer window. Those are
`only pointers to the real folders, which are here in Documents and Settings.)
`
`Thisis only the first ofmany examples in which Windowsimposesa fairly rigid folder
`structure, but this approach has its advantages. By keeping such tight control over
`whichfiles go where, Windows XP keepsitself pure—and very stable, Furthermore,
`Keeping all of your stuff in a single folder will make it very easy to back up your
`work.
`
`Program Files
`This folder containsall of your applications—Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, your
`games, and so on. But that isn’t the impression you get when you first open the folder
`(Figure 3-2).
`
`Fortunately, making them appear on your screen is easy enough: Simply click the
`words “Show the contents of this folder.” They appear just below the “These files
`are hidden” message, and also in the task pane. {The Local Disk (C:) drive window
`works the same way.)
`
`This peculiar behavior requires some explanation. AWindowsprogram istrta single,
`self-contained icon. Instead, each is accompanied by a phalanx of supportfiles and
`folders like the ones shown in Figure 3-2. Nestled amongall of these auxiliary files
`is the actual application icon, which can’t even run ifit’s separated from its support
`group.
`
`As mentioned previously, Microsoft and other software companies grew weary of
`taking tech-support cails from people whose programs stopped working after being
`moved around.Finally, as a preemptive strike, Microsoft simply made them invis-

`

`ible. The “Thesefiles are hidden” message is meantto say: “Nothingto see here,folks.
`Move along.”
`
`
`
`So howare you supposed to launch your programsif you can’t see them in the Pro-
`gram Files folder? Just take your pick of a half-dozen ways, all of which are described
`in the beginning of Chapter5.

`

`In general, the heaithiest PC is one whose Windowsfolder has been left alone. (One
`exception: The Fonts folder contains the icons that represent the various typefaces
`installed on your machine. You're free to add or remove iconsfrom this folder.)
`
`Your Account Folder
`Everything that makes your Windows XP experience your own sits inside the Local
`Disk (C:) Documents and Settings|Your Name] folder. This is where Windows
`stores your preferences, documents, pictures and music, Web favorites and cookies
`(described below), and so on.
`
`
`
`In general, you won't have much business interacting directly with this folder, except
`perhaps to back it up. But understanding how Windows works—and how it keeps
`yourstuff separate from that of everybody else whouses the machine-—is mucheasier
`once you've had a tour of your own accountfolder.
`
`
`
`* Cookies. A cookie is a small (and controversial) preference file that some Web sites
`deposit on your hard drive. This special file is how sites recognize you when you
`visit them again. A cookie is responsible for the “Hello, [Your Name]!” message
`that greets you when visiting Amazon.com, for example. Windows keeps them in
`thas folder.
`
`* Desktop. When you drag an icon out of a folder or disk window and onto your
`Windows XP desktop, it may appear to show up on the desktop. But that’s just an
`optical illusion—a visual convenience. In truth, nothing in Windows XPis ever
`reaily on the desktop;it’s just in this Desktopfolder, and mirrored on the desktop
`area,
`
`Rememberthat everyone who shares your machine will, upon logging on (Chapter
`17), see his own stuff sitting out on the desktop. Now you know howWindows XP
`does it: There’s a separate Desktop folder in every person's account folder.
`
`You can entertain yourself for hours trying to provethis. If you drag something
`out of your Desktop folder, it also disappears from the actual desktop. And vice
`versa.
`
`* Favorites. See page 658 for a definition of favorites. For now, it’s enough to note
`that this folder stores shortcuts of thefiles, folders, and other items you designated
`as favorites. This information can be handy if you want to delete a bunch of your
`favorites all at once, rename them, and so on.
`
`Fp: This folder may also contain a Links folder.It's the folder representation of the Links toolbar described
`on page 9%,
`
`* My Documents. Windows XP makesit look like you're setting up your nest (your
`documents, photos, music files, and so on) in the My Documents folder-—-the one
`that opens when you choose Stari+My Documents. And whenever you save a
`new document (when you're working in Word, for example), the Save dialog box
`proposesstoring the new file in this folder.

`

`Navigating My Computer
`Mostofthe time, you can get where you're going on your computer using the com-
`mands, programs, and folders listed in the Start menu. But when you need to find
`something thatisn’t listed there-—-when you need to burrow manually through the
`labyrinth offolders on the machine—-Windowsoffers two key methods of undertak-
`ing a folder quest.
`
`First, you can open the My Computer window,as described at the beginningof this
`chapter. From there, you double-click one folderafter another, burrowing ever deeper
`
`Behind the scenes, however, My Documentsis actually just one of several folders
`in your own accountfolder.It’s a good idea to back this one up periodically.
`» Start menu.Thisfolderis the true homefor the icons whose names appear in your
`Start menu. By renaming,deleting, or adding to the contents of this folder, you
`can quickly and easily reorganize your Start menu.
`
`Your account folder actually holds much more than this, but the rest of the folders
`are hidden,reserved for use by Windowsitself. The hiddenfolders include: Applica-
`tion Data (which your programs may use to store user-specific settings andfiles),
`Local Settings (Internet Explorer’s history list and cachefile, for example}, NetHood
`(shortcuts for the icons in your My Network Places window), My Recent Documents
`(document shortcuts, the ones that show up in the optional My Recent Documents
`submenuof the Start menu), and SendTo, which is described later in this chapter.
`
`
`into the folders-within-folders.

`

`
`
`
`
`Tap: As you navigate your folders, keep in mind the power of the Backspace key. Each time you press it, you
`jumpto the parent window of the one you're now looking atthe one that contains the previousfolder. For
`example, if you're perusing the My Pictures folder inside My Documents, pressing Backspace opens the My
`Documents window. (Backspace aiso works in most Web browsers, functioning as the Back button.)
`
`Likewise, the Alt key, pressed with the right and left arrow keys, serves as a Back and Forward button, Use
`this powerful shortcut (instead ofclicking the corresponding buttons on the Standard too‘bar) to “walk’
`backward or forward through the list of windows mosi recently opened.
`
`Navigating with Windows Explorer
`The second method of navigating the folders on your PC is called Windows Ex-
`plorer—for long-time Windowsveterans,a familiar sight. (Note that some people
`use the term “Windows Explorer”to refer to everyday folder windows. In this book,
`the term refers exclusively to the split-window view shown in Figure 3-3.)
`
`Using this method, you work in a single window that shows every folder on the
`machine at once. Asa result, you're less likely to lose your bearings using Windows
`Explorer than burrowing throughfolder after folder, as described above.
`
`You can jump into Explorer view using any of these methods:
`
`» Shift-double-click any disk or folder icon.
`
`* Right-click a disk or folder icon (even if it’s in the Start menu) and choose Explore
`from the shortcut menu.
`
`+ Click Folders on the Standard toolbar.
`
`* Choose View—>Explorer Bar->Folders.
`
`* Choose Start—All Programs—>Accessories->Windows Explorer.
`
`* Choose Start—>Run, type explorer, and then press Enter.
`
`No matter which method you use,the resuit is a window like the one shown in Figure
`3-3,
`
`As you can see, this hierarchical display splits the window into two panes. Theleft
`pane displays only disks and folders. The right pane displays the contents (folders
`and files) of any disk or folder you click. You can manipulate the icons on either side
`muchas you would anyothericons. For example, double-click one to openit, dragit
`to the Recycle Bin to deleteit, or drag it into anotherfolderin the folderlist to move
`it elsewhere on your machine.
`
`This arrangement makesit very easy to movefiles and folders around on your hard
`drive. First, make the right pane display the icon you wantto move. Then,set up the
`left pane so that you can see the destination folder or disk—and drag the right-side
`icon from one sideto the other.

`
`When the panel is too narrow
`As shown in Figure 3-3, expanding a folder provides a new indentedlist of folders
`insideit. [you expand folders within foldersto a sufficientlevel, the indentation may
`push the folder names so far to the right that you can’t read them. You can remedy
`this problem with any of the following actions:
`
`« Adjust the relative sizes of the window halvesby dragging the vertical bar between
`them.
`
`° Position your mouse pointer over a folder whose name is being chopped off. A
`tooltip balloon appears to display the full nameof the folder.
`
`* Use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom ofthe left pane to shift the contents.

`name, double-click its icon, or single-click the + button besideit,
`° Right-click a folder in the left pane and select Open from the shortcut menu. A
`new window opens,displaying the contents of the folder you clicked. (To open
`a program or document appearingin either side of the window, double-clickit as
`usual.)
`
`Theright-side paneof the Explorer window behavesexactly like any folder window.
`Don't forget that you can changeit to an icon view orlist view, for example, using
`the View menuas usual.
`
`Keyboard shortcuts

`just like using the keyboard, you'll enjoy the shortcuts that work in the Windows
`Explorer window:

`letter, or the up and down arrow keys to “walk” up and down thelist,

`
`Both of the navigational schemes describedso far in this chapter have only one goal
`in life: to help you manage your icons. You could spend your entire workday just
`mastering the techniques ofnaming, copying, moving, and deleting these icons—and
`plenty of peopledo.
`
`Here’s the crash course.

`
`Renaming Your icons
`To renamea file,folder, printer, or disk icon, you need to open upits renaming rect-
`angle. You can do so with any of the following methods:
`: Highlight the icon and then press the F2 key at the top of your keyboard.
`* Click carefully, just once, on a previously highlighted icon’s name.
`* Right-click the icon and choose Rename from the shortcut menu.
`
`
`Hip: You can even rename your hard drive, so that you don’t go yourentire career with a drive named
`“1ocal Disk.” Just renameits icon (in the My Comouter window) as you would any other. You're not a+
`lowed te rename important system folders like Documents and Settings, Recycle Bin, Windows, WINNT,
`and Systemn32, however.
`
`In any case, once the renaming rectangle has appeared around the current name,
`simply type the new name you want, and then press Enter. Feel free to use all the
`standard text-editing tricks while you're typing: Press Backspaceto fix a typo, press
`
`the left and right arrow keys to position the insertion point, and so on. When you're

`has the same name, Windows beeps and makes you choose another name.)
`
`finished editing the name, press Enter to makeit stick. (If anothericon in the folder
`
`A folder or file name can be up to 255 characters long, including spaces and the file-
`name extension (the three-letter suffix that identifies thefile type). Because they're
`reserved for behind-the-scenes use, Windowsdoesn’t let you use anyofthese symbols
`in a folder or filename: \/:*?“<> |
`
`
`Tip: If you highlight a bunch of icons at once and then open the renamingrectangle for any one of them,
`you wind up renaming aif of them. For example,if you've highlighted folders called Cats, Dogs, and Fish,
`renaming one of them Animals changestheoriginal namesto Animals (1), Animals (2), and Animals (3).
`If this new Windows XP feature hits you unexpectedly, press Ctrl+Z repeatedly until you've restored all the
`original names; (On the other hand, if you wish you had even more mass-renaming power(the ability to
`add a certain prefix to every file, for example, or even to search-and-replace text within the fies’ names), use
`Better File Narne, a piece of sharewarelisted on the “Missing CD” pageat wwmnissingmanuals.com.
`
`Ifyou like, you can give more than onefile orfolder the sare name,as long as they're
`not in the same folder. For example, you can have as many files named “Letter to
`Smith”as you wish,as long as each is ina different folder.
`
`Nete:Windows XP comesfactory set notto show you filenameextensions. That's why you sometimes mignt
`think you see twodifferentfiles called, say, Quarterly Sales, both in the samefolder.
`The explanationis that one filename may end with doc (a Word document), and the other may end with
`ws (an Excel document}. But because thesesuffixes are hidden (page 169), thefiles look tike. they have
`exactly the same name.

`icon Properties
`As every Windowsveteran knows, properties are a big deal in Windows. Properties
`are preference settings that you can change independently for every icon on your
`machine.
`
`To view the Properties dialog box for an icon, choose from these techniques:
`
` * Right-click the icon; choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
`
`° While pressing Alt, double-click the icon.
`
`> Highlight the icon; press Alt+Enter.
`These settings aren't the samefor every kind of icon, however. Here's what you can
`expect when opening the Properties dialog boxes of various icons (see Figure 3-4).
`
`My Computer
`This Properties dialog box is packed with useful information about your machine.
`* The General tab tells you what kind of processoris inside, how much memory
`(RAM) your PC has, and what version ofWindows you've got.
