Task bar icon

[fudge]

Yesterday i installed internet explorer 9. Before this i had on my task bar an icon which let me go to my mail out look express.
Since the explorer 9 install i no longer have this icon on my taskbar and have to go to my desk top to click on the icon i have there. I have seen that you can place items in the task bar but dont understand how to go about it. Does any one know how i can get my mail server icon back onto the task bar in easy terms . Many thanks.

What OS?

Right click on the icon and select 'Pin to taskbar'?

I have tried that but it just says pin to desk top which i have got. im on vista if thats makes any differance

Right click and drag the shortcut icon to the taskbar, then choose copy

I'm guessing fudge is talking about the quick launch menu in Vista, as you can only pin apps to the taskbar in Windows 7.

If this is the case then doing as Kymmy suggests, and dragging the mail icon from the desktop to the quick launch menu will create a link to mail in your taskbar.

For more info on quick launch, check out this page:

If your quick launch bar has disappeared somehow, then this page is useful - it details how to show or hide the quick launch menu in Vista:

Hi i have managed to get it onto the quick launch task bar , but before i had the icon on the task bar on top of page , which i seem not to be able to do.
But at least i can now get to the icon with out having to go back to my desk top. Thankyou every one for your help

I for one am confused, the task bar, quick lauch bar and system tray are all part of the same bar, this can be positioned at any of the sides, top and bottom by simply dragging and dropping, am I missing something ?
