An icon on the task bar

[macka02@tpg.com.au]

Last Thursday/Friday I got a Windows10 update and also advice from Apache that Open Office's new version was 4.1.4.
Now, I had OO4.1.3 installed so I downloaded OO4.1.4. So far so good.
The old version I had somehow put an icon on the taskbar and when I downloaded the new version (4.1.4) the icon disappeared and I just wanted tho put to put an icon for version 4.1.4 back there.
How do I do it so that when I click on it to open the icon the various programmes are useable, like writer, calc, etc.
What I did before was simple (?) but I have forgotten what I did. Can you people help me please... and yes I did use the icon often.

Regards,
Clive McCloughan

That is something you do with your operating system, in your case Windows, rather than AOO; a quick internet search turned up https://www.howtogeek.com/225568/how-to ... indows-10/ among other results.

You may be referring to the quickstarter, in the system tray area of the taskbar.
Choose Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Memory, and tick to load OpenOffice at startup.

You may also want to update your forum signature, which currently shows Windows 8.1 and AOO 4.1.1
