How to Add the Temperature to the Task Bar
- 1). Download the temperature monitoring program of your choice. See the "Resources" section below for a list of free temperature monitoring programs.
- 2). Start the program. At this point, some temperature monitoring programs will automatically add themselves to the taskbar. You can access the full interface by double/right clicking the icon in the taskbar.
- 3). Manually add the program to the taskbar by opening the "Properties/Options" menu and select the miniature/taskbar mode. Some programs will also allow you to select which hardware you want to monitor. For example, if you want to monitor the CPU temperature, you'd place a check next to "CPU." This information will be added to the miniature display on the taskbar.
