In Vista or XP it was easy to create an extra toolbar by pushing a folder full of shortcuts into the edges of the desktop. In win7 that does not seem to work. Has anybody figured out how to make that work? I kind of liked that toolbar and it's functions.
In win7 I substituted with Rocket Dock and the toolbars off the taskbar. But that's not the same thing. Especially Rocket Dock makes me dizzy.
