Add Toolbars to the Windows XP Taskbar

Folder Toolbars (the New Toolbar option)

You can also add toolbars that point to a specific folder or network location to your taskbar. These toolbars make it a snap to open the files within a folder that you use often, since they provide a direct link to the file right from your taskbar.

To add a folder toolbar to your taskbar, right-click a blank area of the taskbar, point to Toolbars, and click on New toolbar.... Select the folder for which you want to add a toolbar.
