Hello Fred,

Let me see, if I understand what you wish to have/do, ok. You would like a quicklaunch, desktop, links, ect-ect. toolbar, at the top of your screen, and hidden. If that's what you want, it's already part of the OS. Right-click the taskbar... just a sec ;-) Have a look at this page, or this page. See if that is what you're looking for, ok. Once you have it where you want it. Just right-click on it, and set it the way you want it. Need more help with that, or anything else explained. Just respond to this/your question, and someone should be around. If not what you meant, oh well, needed some finger flexing :-)

Good Luck,
CrazyOne

Hello Fred,

Hmm, well I guess you could do something of that nature. Need a little input, about what you're doing for sure, ok. Like did you make a new toolbar, and put your shortcuts in it from the desktop. What screen resolution are you using? How much space/distance, do you want between each?? You could make dumby shortcuts, and with use of a trasparent icon have spacers/"seperaters". Even with just icons.... Just curious, as to what you're doing/need, thanks. Someone, should have an idea for you. If you mean, just like in IE. Don't think that's quite available, sorry.
