How to Add Icons to the Mac Quick Taskbar
The row of icons at the bottom of the Apple operating system's desktop is known as the Dock. The Dock holds icons for quick access to your favorite applications and documents, similar to Microsoft Window 7's pinned application icons. You can add icons or remove them from the dock by clicking and dragging. The Dock extends across the screen to fit additional icons and moves the existing icons as necessary to fit new icons.
