With Windows XP I was used to have the icons of the most used programs in
the Task Bar by Start, so that I could call up a program, when the Desktop
was used by other ones e.g. internet. Is there a way to do the same in
Windows Vista Business?

Hasn't changed. Drag shortcuts there.
Or right click a program and choose CREATE SHORTCUT, then drag to the
task bar.
Be sure the bar isn't locked first. Right click it and empty area and
note the drop-down menu.

You're talking about the Quick Launch bar. Yes it's the same in Vista.
Right click a blank area of the Taskbar. On the Taskbar tab put a tic mark
in Show Quick Launch.
To add an item to the Quick Launch navigate to that time in Start, right
click on it, and select Add to Quick Launch.
Many thanks for the suggestions.
