    Go to Start type in Desktop and hit enter. The folder which opens contains what will be shown in the Desktop Toolbar. The default Windows icons like Libraries or Control Panel can't be moved, but you can place all of your created ones in another folder and they won't show then.
    Place the new folder on the desktop. Right click the Taskbar\New Toolbar and browse to the new folder. this will make a toolbar entry with what you want, then uncheck the Desktop one.

    its possible that it wasn't working correctly to start with and after a scan it started to perform as it should.
    i have to say i see the same as you in the desktop list.
    after hovering on toolbars what do you see on the list starting with address.

    keep a tick on desktop and remove any others then click lock the taskbar, to see if we can get rid of the dotted lines

    Thank you. So glad this will work for you. I had never used New Toolbar and gave it a go and it worked. Now you can add anything to that new folder, program shortcuts, music, text files, etc. and will be there on the new toolbar.

    HELP, PLEASE HELP!!! In doing all the above, I lost my expense folder. All I have are the shortcuts. I probably deleted it somehow. OMG - does anyone know how to get it back.

    Oh-oh. Check in recycle Bin to see if it's there. If not a restore point may restore it. System Restore
