Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows 98 has toolbars all over the place. A good example is the Quick Launch toolbar, which automatically sets up links or shortcuts to key features such as the Windows 98 desktop, Outlook Express, Internet Channels, and the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, just to name a few. You'll find the Quick Launch area to the right of the Start button on the taskbar, shown in Figure Q.1.
You can place additional shortcut icons on the Quick Launch toolbar simply by clicking the shortcut you want to add, and dragging it to the Quick Launch area (it automatically inserts itself on the toolbar).
To quickly view the contents of a file, you can usually use the Windows 98 utility known as Quick View. To use Quick View, first navigate to the file you want to view (for more information on navigation in Windows 98, see the section titled "Windows Explorer"). Once you've found the file, right-click it and select Quick View from the ensuing shortcut menu, as shown in Figure Q.2. The file you selected opens inside the Quick View application, as shown in Figure Q.3.
