    • How to Sort Pinned Programs into Categories on the Taskbar
      This is similar to how to pin folders to the taskbar, but my own 'tweaked' way of doing it with programs

      Example: Here is my version of the program sorting:
      Taskbar - Separate Pinned Programs-capture.png
      Update- You can do this to make Shutdown/Restart buttons as well.


      [/INDENT]Method

      Step 1a - Creating the folders Like pinning folders to the taskbar, you need to create a folder to use as a toolbar. With this method, you can create one anywhere and name it to anything: 'Programs on taskbar - Microsoft Office' and 'Programs on taskbar - Abobe Master Collection 3' , and create them in 'categories' if you wish.

      Step 1b - Creating the subfolders Now, in the folders you have created, create new folders for each program in that category, e.g. Office Word, Office Excel, PhotoShop, Fireworks etc.

      Step 2a - Inserting program shortcuts In the subfolders you have just put in, you just copy shortcuts of the program in there.

      (Just type in the name of the program you want in the start menu search, right click 'Copy', go to the folder according to the program you are putting in there, right click and select 'Paste shortcut'.)

      Step 2b - Repeat Repeat step 2a for each program you want separated from the rest.

      Step 3 Unlock the taskbar.

      Step 4a - Showing program icons in the taskbar Right click in the taskbar in an empty space, and find 'Toolbars' with the arrow next to it. Find 'New toolbar', and navigate to, one by one, the folder containing the program. Don't open the folder, just click on it once and press the 'Select Folder' button. In the taskbar now should be the name of the folder you have just selected. Right click and uncheck 'Show text' and 'Show title'. Still in the context menu, go to view, then click on 'Large icons'. You should now have an icon of your program in the taskbar.

      Step 4b - Repeat Repeat Step 4a for each program.

      If you want to organize into categories

      With the taskbar still unlocked, you can click and hold the dotted lines between each program and move them how you want them. When you are satisfied, lock the taskbar, and you should now have the finished product.

    • People Hate others when they find themselves helpless


      Didn’t you just notice something about the operation of the mind?


      When the subconscious mind doesn’t find any solution to a certain problem it uses hatred as a final resort.


      People hate their bosses because they can’t shout at them


      People hate their jobs much if they can’t find alternatives


      People hate things when these things harm them and they find themselves unable to defend themselves


      In short, the next time you discover that someone hates you, make sure that he is feeling helpless. Instead of feeling bad or thinking that you are not worthy of being loved you should feel sorry for that helpless person.
