Hi there forum. Just got my new PC from Dell with Windows 7 Home, and was getting everything setup/downloaded, and I restarted, and now my TOP floating toolbar where I was adding the icons to is gone and im not sure how to get it back.... Is this normal? I was actually liking that thing!!! Thanks!
Yeah, it does not exist in Win7. I use Rocket Dock instead - it's similar.
Thats one thing Ive missed since Vista was released, I used to drag the QuickLaunch toolbar out from the Taskbar and place it at the top of the screen but it cant be done now without 3rd party software these days
Now I just use the AppLauncher gadget (Winkey + G will bring gadgets to the foreground) : Windows Live Gallery

When I first booted the computer up when I got it from dell, it was on there. I think you might not understand what im talking about.... Straight from the factory there was a bar, and it had the recycle bin, and a few other things on the top of the screen.........
Unfortunately AppLauncher works only in Win7 32bit - not in 64bit. At least that's what I had experienced.Thats one thing Ive missed since Vista was released, I used to drag the QuickLaunch toolbar out from the Taskbar and place it at the top of the screen but it cant be done now without 3rd party software these days

Do you use it in a tweaked sidebar Vista style or as a free floating gadget Win7 style?.
Have a look in the program files whether there is some kind of dock - e.g. Rocket dock.YES!It's gone! After having the computer for a day and installing programs, and rebooting multiple times, that bar is gone, where I was just getting comfortable with it, with all my icons! Hokus Pokus and it was gone...

Will do! Thank you!
AFAIK Dell does ship a customised version of Startdock's Object dock with some of it's models - It would appear that this is what we are dealing with here.
All I can suggest to the OP is to check out dell's website for their particular model and check if this is available for download - Dell are normally pretty good in this respect so I would expect it to be available.
The other thing to try is to check for a dell applications disk with the system or even a folder on the C: system drive
