In IE, in file, you can go to send, then "link to desktop", if you move that "link to desktop" to the task bar it can become one of those task bar buttons that I don't know the name of.<br><br><br><br>
All of my favorite sites are a button on my taskbar, so in a way it's like having several different homepages, but always having the one I want popping up.<br><br><br><br>
Now, this is what drives me mad:<br><br><br><br>
All of the sites I go to BUT this one and <a href="http://www.dictionary.com" target="_blank">www.dictionary.com</a> turn into a cute little icon of that site, for example, my LotRs board turns into an icon of a ring, <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">www.google.com</a> turns into a big blue G, etc.<br><br><br><br><a href="http://www.veggieboards.com" target="_blank">www.veggieboards.com</a> turns into a nice little IE symbol. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>
Mike, you must do something! I can't tell this site apart from the dictionary!<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/shocked.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

This is preposterous!! It's been months! No response?!?! Where is Michael!<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/mad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>
What awful customer service!! Where are the complaint cards?!

And why is the menu screen miles too big nowadays? Scrolling to olympic standards to find anything on it...<br><br>
moan moan moan <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

 

[Michael]

Menu screen? Not sure what you mean. It all looks fine to me.<br><br><br><br>
Mikie, today I came across how to do that thing you were talking about. Will try to do it soon.

 

[Walter]

Awesome Mike! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>
That makes Mikie very happy<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

"Menu screen? Not sure what you mean"<br><br>
I click on Veggieboards on this page, the blue one above go to first unread post, and the page is 50% bigger than all the others...

 

[Michael]

Looks fine to me. What browser are you using and what is your monitor resolution set at?<br><br><br><br>
Mikie, it would really speed things up if you'd send me a pic for that thing. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

Looks fine to me. What browser are you using and what is your monitor resolution set at?<br><br><br><br>
IE6 and 1024 by 768 pixels. Is that the right answer? I don't really know what you're talking about, but I HAVE NOT been fiddling with my computer, it just happened...

 

[Michael]

Strange. Not sure what to tell you. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> Mine is set at 1024x768 and I checked it with IE6. All looks good to me.

 

[GhostUser]

I've found what it is. I reduced my font size by 20%, and it cured it. Hotmail is impossible to read, but VB is fine ! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

 

[Michael]

Well that's all that matters. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

 

[Walter]

mike - how's progress?!?

 

[Michael]

Once you find me a little picture to use I'll try to add it. We need to work as a team! There is no "I" in "button thingy". Ah, never mind.

Wouldn't that do without the words? or..... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/moonpie.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":moonpie:"> ??

 

[Michael]

Yes, <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/moonpie.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":moonpie:"> would be excellent. Good idea! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>
Now I have to find those damn instructions...

 

[Walter]

LOL<br><br><br><br>
That... WOULD work... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

OMG who is that gorgeous looking bloke you've used for your avatar??

They're called Quick Launch icons. You can make each one whatever you want by right-clicking on it, selecting properties, then clicking Change Icon (not sure where this button will be on each version of Windows, but on 2000 it is on the default page (Web Document) that appears).<br><br><br><br>
From there you can select an icon, either from a separate icon file or from a file that contains icons.
