Displaying the Smart Board Floating Tools


The other day a co-worker asked me how to bring back the Smart Board floating tools. These are the tools that are displayed vertically on the left or right side of your desktop. Normally you would click the Smart Board icon in the system tray located in the lower right corner of your desktop and choose “show floating tools”. The problem was that there was no Smart Board icon in the system tray. Let me also say that looking for the information in Google was of little help. Perhaps I did not type in the right key words in the search panel, I don’t know. Anyway, here is what you need to do to bring back the Smart Board icon in the system tray. Open “my computer”, c drive, program files, Smart Technologies and the Smart Board Drivers folder. Locate the Smart Board Tools exe and double click it. This will place the Smart Board icon in the system tray and you will be able to click it and choose “show floating tools”. I hope this helps someone.

Brian,
You can also click on your Start Menu go to All Programs -> Smart Technologies. Smart Notebook -> Welcome Center.
When the Welcome Center Dashboard opens up click the Tools Tab and then the Floating Toools options in the right column.

You can also click on your Start Menu, go to All Programs, SMART Technologies, SMART Product Drivers, and SMART Tools. This will put the icon in the system tray where you can then click on it to open the Floating Tools.
