    You're right flirno. But your complaint is with Microsoft, not with those of us who are trying to help you approximate as closely as possible, what is available for Windows 7.

    Why don't you complain to Microsoft? If enough users did that, the thousands (perhaps millions) of us who are perpetually frustrated by their unwanted changes, perhaps the company would respond positively.

    Eh I have. Far as I can tell it has been logged in the usual way and probably prioritized into insignificance.

    You could create them with Rainmeter. If it is only toolbars with certain functions tailored to the specific monitor it is on, then it would be possible. It would be tiresome though. :)

    Got a response -- it was a canned response indicating that no plans are currently in place to support that kind of functionality.

    Yeah...a long way from just dragging an icon into a folder to setup toolbars. Currently when there are too many icons I create a folder in the area and put the lesser used ones into them. I remember way back when it was possible to turn a folder (or at least alter its desktop instantiation/materialization) itself into a 'library' (with just a context menu option) that was basically a toolbar-ish button array (or perhaps a custom control panel) -- this may have been as far back as Windows 3.0 or 3.1. Interestingly that option dropped out or was hidden at some point.

    Found an application that appears to fulfill this role perfectly.

    OldBar for Windows 7 - A detachable toolbar replacement - Windows 7 Download

    There are some others out there now that may do something similar and simply (no flashy, space consuming, gaudy fisher price graphics, just straight forward, clean and space conserrvative industrial which is how I want it).

    It took a while but 3rd party add ons have started to fill this particular UI shortfall.
