Thanks for the replies, and Holiday Greetings to you both.
Having used Chrome for awhile now, I have adapted to the not-much-customization situation. The performance has won me over. I have IE and FF installed, but use Chrome 99.99% of the time.
ETA - On the Toolbar, I right clicked on a folder, "Add folder...", dragged the New folder to the Toolbar at the left end and named the folder -------------. This moved everything to the right, 3 new folders and all other folders and bookmarks are as far right as possible. By adjusting the number of ---s in the name, or adding/deleting folders, I am able to get SOME location adjustment.
When one is really really bored, it is fun to see how many -----s you can add to the name before it shows up as ----.... This varies according to the number of New Folders you add to the Toolbar.
