My initail foray into Help suggests this too, though as usual it tells me what to do but not what to expact when I do it. I' like to have an idea of what I'll get before I do the work. I just tend to be anal that way.

Jim,

Maybe that by the time I finish this post, you already figured it out. Right-Click in an empty space of the taskbar, open Toolbars and then click in New. Create a new folder (or use an exising one) and this will create a new toolbar in the taskbar area of Windows, unlock the taskbar (if you have it locked) and then you drag it to the desktop, anywhere you want, and you can start dropping icons there
