This handy little hack will help you find things much easier and takes up very little room. This works with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. I'm not really sure if it will work with Windows 98 or 95, but it might if you are still using that for some reason. It does not work for Windows 3.1 or 3.11, as there is no toolbar. (How's that for complete version information?)
First, right-click on your taskbar and go to Toolbars -> New Toolbar. You will be greeted with a box to choose a folder. You can pick any folder you want, such as your Documents folder as an example. Navigate to your user folder and click once on your My Documents folder to choose it and then click OK. There is now a handy new toolbar near your clock. Click it and it will show all of the Files and folders in your My Documents. You can do this for any folder on your computer. I have my User folder on mine because then I can see Documents, Downloads, Music, and anything else I might want right handy.
