Double click it, or select it and click the Add Move button to add it to the queue. Now click on another location, let's say Mars, and choose Unload Colonists. Your ship will now move colonists from Earth to Mars, then wait for more orders. If you want it to repeat these actions you can click the 'Cycle Moves' checkbox; then each action will be moved to the bottom of the queue once the ship finishes it.
Creating a colony is as simple as dropping people or equipment there. Of course, the solar system has a lot of bodies you can put colonies on, so sometimes finding the right one in this window is quite hard. You can click on the sun icon in the System Map window to open the System View (yea, I know, great names here) which gives you a lot more details about the bodies in the system. This window has a 'Create colony' button which does exactly what it says. If you now check the Task Group window you'll see that this colony is sorted to the top of the list of available locations, making it easier to find.

There are some buttons for manipulating cargo in the Ships screen, but 95% of all cargo stuff is done by selecting a population in the orders box, and using one of the available cargo commands.

You create a new group by selecting an individual ship in the TG window (like a cargo ship in the shipyard group) then click detach. They are automatically set to the task force (Fleet HQ) their parent task group was in. Calling it a useless game because you have yet to climb the learning curve is a bit harsh and rude.

I could scroll around the desktop as if i was zoomed into it. This let me use regular height windows on occasions i needed to use controls i could not otherwise access. Unfortunately, I don't remember what that application was.
I'm not sure what your problem is with adding cargo, though.

I have tried Res 1024X768,1280X768,1360X768 with Reduced Height Windows Active and Not Still Cannot Add More Groups under Fleet HQ. Any Ideas would work.
Also because of the Cut off I cannot Even Add Cargo of any Kind. So it is a Useless Game for me Until there is a Way to Correct/Fix this Problem
