Needs icons on taskbar

[inquiring]

Hello..I use WIN 98..used to be able to drag and drop icons from the wallpaper onto taskbar near START button and they would take their place on taskbar. Want to do that again but when dragging and releasing now they DONT appear. Do I need to set something to do this again?
Thank you.

Right-click on the Toolbar and make sure that Quick Launch is selected under Toolbars. Then you should be able to drag the shortcuts onto the Toolbar again.

And if necessary, grab the toolbar near the left edge and drag it out toward the right so there is room for the icons.

when I right click on the toolbar the choices are faded and greyed so I cannot select them. What next?

Short of reinstalling the OS, the only information I could find on the subject was this:

If this doesn't work, then perhaps this program will allow you to restore the functionality to the toolbar:
