Very cool. How can I customize my own Windows taskbar and change what programs or apps are shown?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s amazing that more people don&#8217;t know how to modify and customize their Win Taskbar, actually. You&#8217;re asking about something pretty basic, something that can really help you go much faster on your PC with every favorite program icon on-screen and ready to click. Still, it&#8217;s amazing how many people have the standard set of icons on their own taskbar, even as they&#8217;ve updated to newer browsers, different media players, and third-party apps like Photoshop or Sony Vegas to get their daily tasks done.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you update the Taskbar? Well, the first step is to become more comfortable right clicking. Really. If you were to right-click on your taskbar, you&#8217;d be able to jump right into customization.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s take this a step at a time.
