Rearrange Paint Tools and Colors
Not happy with the placement of Paint's tools and colors? Then move them. You can turn them into floating palettes, for placement anywhere on screen, or stick them to the edge of the Paint window.

Open Paint by selecting Start, Programs, Accessories, Paint. Click a blank area around the edge of the tools or colors, and a black box will appear to let you know they're selected. Now just drag the palette where you want it, along its existing edge or anywhere on screen.

Don't like floating palettes? Just like the Taskbar, they'll snap into place at the edge of the Paint window. Tools stick to the side edges; colors stick to the top or bottom.
