IE Links Tool Bar Tweak

[Guest jondoh]

Hey, folks, I've got a problem: I can't find any info on two specific GUI tweaks I'd like to try. I've searched Microsoft and Google and have come up short.

1) I use Windows Task Bar toolbars around the periphery of my screen that give me ready access to my most-used shortcuts. My problem occurs when I try to expand one of the sidebars. I can increase the size of the bar, but no matter how much I expand it, I'm still using only one column. This causes all the icons to bunch up at the top and display altogether differently than I was hoping for. What I'm looking for is the opportunity to add several "independent," one-columed toolbars, each having it's own right-click context menu.

I really don't think it can be done through Windows, to be honest.. anybody seen any registry tweaks or scripts or whatever that deal with this?

2) I've used a tweak for expanding the IE Links menu - when it's too long for the screen - to two side-by-side columns rather than by using the chevron at the bottom to cascade to the end, but I've lost it. Anybody know anything about this little gem?

Thanks for everything.
