Brilliant! I now have a mute button on my taskbar - something I’ve been trying to do for months. I created a new tool bar, put a shortcut to mute.exe in it and left it on the taskbar after killing show title & show text.

Love the “new toolbar” dialogue.
However, I am a “show desktoop” clicker (or windows key + “M”) , and when I do so my new toolbar minimizes too.
Can one “lock the tool bar” like “lock the taskbar” so it is truly always visible?

[…] So I took my own advice and created a new toolbar which I now have as part of my main toolbar, with links to the 15 web browsers I currently have installed, based on the Google Analytics stats for the website.: […]

Another useful one is the ‘Links’ toolbar… If you unlock your taskbar and add the links toolbar, then drag it to the TOP of the screen; clear it off and you can actually make cascading folders drop down which can have any content in them at all The reason I use the links bar is because its already set up to handle folders and content specially whereas ‘new’ toolbars don’t play as nice.

I usually turn the title off and leave the text on and give my folders short names. This works as a side bar too but unless you want to give the folders no names (or different icons) then it’s kinda wide haha…
