What is on your task bar most of the time
The Google Deskbar thread made me wonder how many of you have room on your task bar to give up for the new utility. I don't. This is my taskbar.
Sorry, but the nature of this thread means it won't be mobile friendly and even desktops will need to scroll.
Outlook 2003 is always running, but the other 10+ apps change depending on whether I am at home or work (this is a laptop.) The last toolbar on the top row is my desktop flyup menu. Across the bottom is my Application toolbar which has Desktop, WMP9, Office 2003 apps (Outlook, Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint, Project, Visio, FrontPage, OneNote), Money 2004, Textpad, Calculator, eWallet, ListPro, PaintShop Pro 8, Animation Shop 3, HanDBase, Citrix and (not shown - use chevron) Task Scheduler, Windows Explorer. Then there is my Internet Toolbar which is showing 3 Forte Agent servers. The flyup on that has 7 more Agent servers (come on multiple server support Agent 2.x!!!) FTP Explorer, Audibe Manager and Internet Explorer. Finally, Window Media Player 9 when it is minimized. 
So where would I possibly put the Google Desktop Bar? I wish it would fit under the dead area under the start bar.

Perhaps you could drag some of your toolbars off the taskbar and make them into their own toolbars on the desktop on the sides of your screen.
And quite frankly, I reckon these Google bars and whatever bars that they have for the desktop and browser are just resource-hoggers, etc. etc. 0X

Ed, I'm disappointed.....you still have room for SETI@Home in your tray.....
:wink:
As far as resouces, I did a quick monitor of the Google taskbar......no CPU when not active and only 500K of sysetem memory....not too bad.....

I have over 25,000 units in my SETI@Home account.  I just don't run it on my laptop. Even at low priority, it messes with outlook. :evil:

It's considered an Office 2003 application even though it's not included in most (all?) of the Office bundles.
http://office.microsoft.com/onenote
Seeing has how Office 2003 has just come out, we're definitely not talking about Office 2004.

I'm Ed H. on the MVP team. http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/s...eam_94838.html
Justin, OneNote is part of the Office System 2003 family but it isn't bundled with any Office package that I know of, just like Visio and Project. You have to buy them separately.

Interesting.....I'm wondering how many PPC users are also crunching SETI packets.....I see a poll forthcoming......
I'd also be curious how many PC's folks are using with the SETI screensaver in a single location.....hmmmm.....
Thanks!

Ah ha! I see, thanks Ed and Janak. So we have the latest office, 2003 Pro, but not with the latest addons, we have Visio but not OneNote or project (none of which I would use) so, its all good

P.S - How do you take screenshots of your Taskbar? Do you hit Print screen and then edit the file in Photoshop or something?
