I don't use XP, so while I can say with assurance that it can be done on either Windows 2003, 2000, or 98 - it's a stretch for me to assume it can be done on XP. The "easy" way is to grab the left shangle of the DQSD window and drag it to the VERY bottom of the taskbar, then release. It will look like nothing is going to happen - but after the screen settles it will be the bottom "row" of a multi-line taskbar. You can then drag your Quick Launch toolbar beside it - and any other toolbars you may use - so it doesn't eat any more space on it's own than necessary. Again, I don't use XP, so I never had to face the "button collection" problem others using XP do. But I do use a two row taskbar, and it serves my purposes very well. I frequently use very long queries or commands and having a multiline DQSD that's about 200 px wide (long enough for the long date + time to fit on one line). I have the Quick Launch toolbar immediately to the right of that (wide enough for four icons to fit inside and a chevron to reach the rest - with well-organized folders inside that have the bulk of my applications), and the rest of my taskbar to the right of that. The clock that would normally sit in my tray is disabled. Nothing but useable real estate in my taskbar. And, I use the Floax function (more info at "floax?" to access dynamic stored searches (like length of the clipboard, common string manipulations (replace unix-style line endings with windows', quick-sort, case conversion, and a couple custom aliases)) through the "go" button (the magnifying glass).
