Default Moving OE6, IE & "Back to Desktop" Icons to Taskbar?

I uninstalled a program and somehow the OE and IE icons disappeared from the
taskbar along the bottom on the screen, along with the icon that sends you
back to the desktop. Can't remember how to put them back - can anyone give
me a hand?

Using Windows 98SE.

Thanks in advance!

Start | Programs. Find IE and OE and right click on each | Send To | Desktop
(create Shortcut) and drag them on to the toolbar.

For the Desktop Shortcut:

Hi John,

It's called Quick Launch, search help for instruction.

Perhaps from my WindowsMe help...

If the Quick Launch bar does not appear, right-click an empty area on the
taskbar, point to Toolbars, and then click Quick Launch.

Thanks, but they won't stick there.

Well, that's a problem bigger than OE. Let's hope someone in the 98
newsgroup can help. (I thought they did away with that???).

Doh! You said you lost some icons, not the QL Taskbar.
