Shortcut toolbar
On vista I had a shortcut toolbar along top of desktop that would auto-hide. Can this be done on W7?

Hellow Rkeilty,
You could move the taskbar to the top of the desktop, and set it to auto-hide. Another alternative, is a program like RocketDock.
Hope this helps,

Or try Nexus (The Advanced Docking System for Windows). Works with Win 7 32/64.

I have tried both Object dock, and Rocket dock, and prefer Nexus.

Thanks guys. Any other suggestions out there? I don't want to lose my task bar nor do I need anything as sophisticated as Nexus. Thanks.

Have settled for Rocketdock and am quite liking it. Shortsighted of Microsoft to remove this, I think. Thanks to you all.

If you think the Nexus dock is nice, you should try Winstep Extreme. They have a 30 day trial. It's a bit overwhelming at first because of the vast customization that it offers. However, after a few days, it all starts coming together, and you keep finding new things to tweak.

It's not free though. But, It includes a more feature rich version of the Nexus docking system that allows for multiple docks, tabbed docking etc. It also comes with Workshelf which is really unique. It organizes everything into customizable shelf's that can auto hide and are launched right from your desk top. No more clicking through multiple menus to find what you need.
I was so impressed with the the Workshelf system, that I didn't even set up any Nexus docks.
Oh, and Winstep Extreme also come with Nextstart which is a skinable advanced menu management system.
Winstep has their own support forum where the developer is extremely active and promptly answers all questions.

Winstep Extreme has been around for a long time and is continuously being developed. I am in no way connected to the developer of Winstep Extreme. I am just a happy registered user of the software.
Keizer mind linking to your gadgets? I wouldn't mind using some of those. By the way ObjectDock works fine on Windows 7.
