    You guys are great teachers - with your hand holding and time, I may yet learn to use features of Win 7. I read in one of the web pages that was mentioned in this thread that "You can also change the taskbar to show the words rather than just icons". Anyone know how that is accomplished?

    Try these:

    Context Menu - Add Copy To Folder and Move To Folder
    Send To Context Menu - Remove or Restore Default Items

    Finally understand how the context menu works - was unaware that I had to select a file or folder before it would function. Another member explained it.
