The below process will show us how can we customize the position of the “Quick Access Toolbar“. Quick Access Toolbar contains some of the useful commands (i.e. Undo, Redo, Delete, Properties, New Folder, Rename etc.) for quick access to various operations. By default it is present above the Ribbon of Windows 8. But we can also change its position to the below of the ribbon. Whether it is present above or below the ribbon its commands are same. No change in its work. Just assign it in a position where you will feel it most useful.
