I'm sorry but I don't know the technical name for the little bar of icons at the bottom of the screen in Windows [XP Home] which normally has a left-pointing arrow and allows you to expand the row of small icons held there, but my question is ...
How to do you add and delete icons from this expanding/contracting bar?
Rightclick on the bar that runs across the bottom (in a place where there are no icons)and select properties. In the task tab, select 'Customise' for the nitification area.
I'm not using the home edition, so I'm hoping it's the same.
