accidentally installed from other programs. But toolbars can also be great
things, in the correct place.

click the taskbar, hover over Toolbars and then tick the ones you want
appearing. The best inbuilt one is Address, which will give you a text field that

search in your system.

will mean that when you minimise the music player it’ll provide a neat music
control panel from your taskbar, saving you loading the window each time you
want to pause or change track.
