To create a toolbar in Vista you have to employ a different technique from that used in XP. What you need to do is create a folder, then drag it to the very top of the screen, once you see the plus sign let go of the mouse, you have just created a new Vista Toolbar. Improved Windows Explorer.

Finding Tools Menu and Explorer Settings. How to Create Virtual Folders. Desktop Tips and Tricks. Vista Documents and Special Folders. Sidebar and Gadgets. Check Performance with ipMonitor.

Printer Install Problems. Remote Desktop Connection. System and Maintenance. System Protection. Make sure that the most frequently used commands are directly accessible from the toolbar that is, not in overflow in small window sizes. If necessary, reorder the commands, move less frequently used commands to menu buttons or split buttons, or even remove them completely from the toolbar. If this remains a problem, reconsider your choice of toolbar style.

Generally, toolbars work great together with menu bars because having both allows each to focus on their strengths without compromise. On hover, display the button affordance to indicate that the icon is clickable. After the tooltip timeout, display the tooltip or infotip. For mode buttons, display the control to reflect the currently selected mode.

If the mode affects the behavior of mouse interaction, also change the pointer. For property buttons and drop-down lists, display the control to reflect the state of the currently selected objects, if any. On interaction, update the control's state and apply the change to the selected objects. If nothing is selected, do nothing. Exception: On rare occasions, a toolbar command can be used more efficiently modally.

In such cases, use double-click to toggle the mode. In this example, double-clicking the Format painter command enters a mode where all subsequent clicks apply the format. Users can leave the mode by left single-clicking. Exception: Windows 7-style toolbars use icons only for commands whose icons are well known; otherwise they use text labels without icons.

Doing so improves the clarity of the labels, but requires more space. Make sure toolbar icons are clearly visible against the toolbar background color. Always evaluate toolbar icons in context and in high-contrast mode. Choose icon designs that clearly communicate their purpose, especially for the most frequently used commands.

Well-designed toolbars need icons that are self-explanatory because users can't find commands efficiently using their tooltips. However, toolbars still work well if icons for a few less frequently used commands aren't self-explanatory. Choose icons that are recognizable and distinguishable, especially for the most frequently used commands. Make sure the icons have distinctive shapes and colors.

Doing so helps users find the commands quickly even if they don't remember the icon symbol. For more information and examples, see Icons. If you are using menu buttons and split buttons in a toolbar, try to use the following standard menu structures and their relevant commands whenever possible.

Unlike menu bars, toolbar commands don't take access keys. These commands mirror the commands found in standard menu bars, so they should be used only for primary toolbars.

This list shows the button labels and type with their order and separators, shortcut keys, and ellipses. Note that the command for displaying and hiding the menu bar is in the View menu. These commands supplement standard menu bars. Note that the command for displaying and hiding the menu bar is in the Tools menu.

The supplemental toolbar category names differ from the standard menu category names because they need to be more encompassing.

For example, the Organize category is used instead of Edit because it contains commands that aren't related to editing. To maintain consistency between menu bars and toolbars, use the standard menu category names if doing so wouldn't be misleading.

In this example, the toolbar should use Edit instead of Organize for consistency because it has the standard Edit menu commands. Palette windows use shorter title bars to minimize their screen space. Put a Close button on the title bar. Provide a context menu for window management commands. Display this context menu when users right-click on the title bar. When possible and useful, make palette windows resizable. Indicate that the window is resizable, using resize pointers when over the window frame.

When a palette window is redisplayed, display it using the same state as last accessed. When closing, save the window size and location. When redisplaying, restore the saved window size and location. Also, consider making these attributes persistent across program instances on a per user basis. Provide customization for toolbars consisting of two or more rows. Only the unlabeled icons style needs customization. Simple toolbars with few commands don't need customization.

Provide a good default configuration. Users shouldn't have to customize their toolbars for common scenarios. Don't depend upon users customizing their way out of a bad initial configuration. This will allow us to move the Quick Launch bar once we reactivate it. Right click on an empty space on the Windows 7 taskbar and from the resulting Context Menu, click Toolbars and then New Toolbar. The Quick Launch toolbar will now appear on the Windows 7 taskbar, but it will be on the right side of the screen next to the System Tray.

Let's move it back to the left side where the toolbar should be. Click on the left edge dotted lines of the new Quick Launch toolbar, and drag it over to the left as far as it will go. To remove the text labels shown on the Quick Launch toolbar, right-click on the left edge of the toolbar dotted lines and from the resulting Context Menu, uncheck both "Show Text and "Show Title.

At this point, the Quick Launch toolbar looks like it did in Windows XP and Vista, but it's still on the wrong side of the taskbar.
