        <description><![CDATA[My apologies. This is the problem with so many of the slide shows. They don't usually include the ability to download a PDF. Sort of like Pavlov's dog. After tons of them with no option but to scan each slide, you become conditioned. As soon s you see its a slide show, most of us are automatically turned off. It would be nice if a PDF file was always available as an alternative.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Noticing that some of the screenshots downloaded rather slowly, I checked their properties: they have the extension JPG, but appear to be PNG files, which don't compress at all well for 'busy' desktop backgrounds such as the first one (which reduces from 426kB to 52 when saved as JPG with my compression setting - the less 'busy' ones reduce to 10% of the png size when converted to jpg).]]></description>

I dumped everything off the taskbar, moved QL next to the start button then slid the right dotted line to the left, locked the toolbar and its exactly like the QL of old with the excess of your choice available vertically. Between the QL and the Tray is the opened windows icons/minimized look with added touch of aero.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I too am  a QL fan. With my Tool Bar having only my open apps icons, in XP I could hit the left border and open my vertically oriented QL bar, composed of utility and and other apps not often used but readily available without having to navigate to them.  Win 7's QL requires a click to open and another click for the wanted app.  It works, but not as easily the the good 'ol XP QG.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The thing I liked about quick launch in XP was that the list of programs was hidden in a menu that appeared when you clicked on the quick launch bar, thus not cluttering the task bar with a lot of icons. All your little trick does is essentially make 2 task bars.]]></description>
