Right-click on any (even if tiny) blank spot in the Main Windows Toolbar (the thing that has the Start button). Then pick "Toolbars -> New Toolbar". In the pop-up, pick any directory, say the desktop directory. A new button appears on the Main Windows Toolbar. This button can be dragged onto the desktop -- do so to see what happens. Then drag this button to one of the edges (say the top edge) of the desktop -- see what happens. Right click on this and again pick "Toolbars -> New Toolbar". This will allow you to add any directory to this toolbar. Also try right click and "Toolbars -> Address". Etc. http://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/42524/42524.html [snip] > I use both Linux and Windows machines at work with one > keyboard, mouse and dual-monitor display.

As a means to move among windows, what is the counterpart in Linux of Windows' <Alt-Tab>? --Suresh
