		<description>Thanks much for this tip on docking toolbars in Vista.  I had a sinking feeling that the feature might have been deleted.

		<description>I&#039;ve taken this just a bit farther.  I like things grouped into categories...
I do wish there was someone who knows a registry hack to fix the color... :-)

Adding ToolBar with sub-group categories to Vista Desktop (unfortunately, still light blue in color)

-&gt; Create a toolbar on your Desktop using the instructions shown above or from the local Vista help files (key words &quot;tool bar desktop&quot;)

-&gt; Create a folder to be used as your ToolBar container.
    (Select a folder name and location of choice; remember, this is a separate entity from the actual toolbar created on the Desktop.)
-&gt; While in that folder,
   -&gt; Create sub-folders named for different categories (example: Admin); 
   -&gt; Add into each sub-folder any shortcut(s) that you want in that category.

   For example:
   -&gt; Create container folder in your account named &quot;ToolBars&quot;
      -&gt; Create sub-folder &quot;Admin&quot; and add shortcuts to Control Panel, regedit, perfmon, taskmgr, etc.
      -&gt; Create sub-folder &quot;Partitions-Folders&quot; and add shortcuts to various explorer windows set to open different partitions and folders.**
      -&gt; Create sub-folder &quot;MediaWorks&quot; and add shortcuts to MovieMaker, Photoshop, and various games.

Once you have your sub-folders set up the way you like them, 
-&gt; Right click on your new ToolBar on your Desktop.
-&gt; Select Toolbars -&gt; New Toolbar -&gt; Browse and &quot;Select Folder&quot; the desired sub-folder to add it to your ToolBar.


Options: 
-&gt; Drag the side of the ToolBar to make it more or less wide (wider allows the icons to sit side by side).
-&gt; Select large or small icons and whether or not to view the accompanying text.
-&gt; Once created, Add icons to a sub-section by dragging and dropping them into place (or open appropriate the sub-folder and add the shortcut manually).
-&gt; Remove icons from a sub-section by right clicking on the shortcut and deleting it.
-&gt; Remove a section from the ToolBar: Right click on the ToolBar-&gt;Toolbars-&gt;(Deselect) the section.
-&gt; Each sub-section can have &quot;small&quot; or &quot;large&quot; icons as desired
-&gt; Add your custom &quot;ToolBars&quot; container to the TaskBar if you like.
-&gt; Sub-sections to your main ToolBar are easily added from the bottom-&gt;up; you can add the categories in the order in which you want them to appear.
   For example: If you want Admin stuff ordered first (top), add it first and then drag the category to the top of the toolbar. 
   Next, Right Click at the bottom of the main toolbar and add the next toolbar category you want to see.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** To create a specialized &quot;explorer&quot; window that 
opens to a desired partition/folder, add the following 
to the Properties target line (and remember to rename your new window
in the General Properties tab):

           /e,:\
          
Examples:  C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,D:\
           C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,D:\Downloads
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I’ve not miss-typed any bits, that should do it…</description>

		<description>Awesome!  I&#039;ve been trying to do this for over a year.  I finally have the full taskbar back, and I don&#039;t have to be so stingy about adding new items to Quick Launch.</description>

		<description>This is a great tip! I only discovered the possibility in xp by accidentally dragging the two little arrows next to a menu on the taskbar. I was disappointed that the feature was not available in Vista OR SO I THOUGHT!

Is it possible to tweak the appearance to fit with the aero theme?</description>
