Icons on Toolbars make great
shortcuts. With a click of the mouse, an action can be performed that
otherwise would take several keystrokes or clicks. Most software packages
allow users to add and delete icons, thereby customizing the toolbar for
individual needs.
If you frequently perform a specific
task, add the shortcut icon to your toolbar.
