Docking toolbars in Windows 7

There was a work-around to make this , but that same trick didn't work in 7. Is there something similar in 7 to make this possible?

I hate having icons on my desktop and I'd prefer to not use the quick launch trick to clutter up the taskbar.

Any thoughts?

These links might help you to achieve what you want:

Thanks for the links, Rich, but I already know how to add the "quick launch" back to the taskbar.

What I want to do is create a secondary toolbar like in the youtube video I posted.

I don't think you can. I too have been asking for this and I contacted one of the MS developers. He said they had no plans to do this and it would make a nice task for a "toy". But he couldn't say who would do it or when it would be done.

It's a real shame because I also use a secondary toolbar and have done so ever since Windows 2000.

I have found ObjectDock which should do what you want. Here Stardock ObjectDock Plus
is a starting point

Nice free Docking toolbars fine work in Windows 7 x64

Thanks - it's interesting - but it only docks at the top or bottom - not left or right. I need the height - I don't need the width.

Has anyone heard wether or not 7 will have multiple tool bars. I use a "My Computer" tool bar and dock it to the left side of my left monitor and my task bar to the right of my right monitor in XP and have done so since I first started using XP. I don't care for the little pop out "My Computer" tool bar in 7. Hopefully this will be included in the retail version. also I've noticed that when the power setting shuts down my monitors half of the time my task bar relocates itself to my left monitor. Not every time but often. Anyone else having the problem?

I've been sitting here like a fool for 40 minutes trying to do this.

I've had my applications sorted out though toolbars around my screen for years, video editing/3D/CAD on the right, coding on the left, games/multimedia on the top.

It's a shame they don't have a way of doing this in seven. Now I have to hunt around for a tab program I like and pay hopefully find one free...ugh.

Yeah, it seems we're doomed to conformity on this one. :-\

same situation here!
I want my toolbars back!!

why do they remove/change useful features like that?!

like:
- Show/Hide Folder Tree area! (R.I.P. in Vista, why?!)
and just when I was getting used to Vista's Top-Shortcut-region/Bottom-Folder-Tree,
I have to re-adapt to the new Folder-Tree version which brings me to this:
why can't I remove items from it!?! like Network or Homegroup? it's really annoying.

- Quick Launch (R.I.P. in 7) (I found a way to restore it, but still, not fair!)

- Show Desktop (why in hell did they move it to they right, I'll never know!)

- oh and the Disk Defragmenter visual interface..
