Hello:

Since office 2003, no more Shortcut Bar comes with office, is there a
standalone program that can do the same job?
I find it really convenient

Thanks
Maurice

Since Office 2003 I use the Quick Launch Bar docked to the right hand
side of the desktop.

Hi Maurice,

This feature is built in to XP already.

Do this:
Create a new folder on the desktop. Call it something like Shortcuts.
Put all the shortcuts you wish to have on the toolbar into this folder.
When you have done this;
Drag the folder to the top of the screen and drop it there
Right click on the new toolbar and then set it up the way you want it
(Autohide, Always on top, view etc)
Drag and drop the icons along the toolbar, so that they are in the position
on the toolbar you want

If occasionally the toolbar won't open when you run the cursor to the top of
the screen, you need to go to the desktop and double click the folder with
the shortcuts in it. This will get it going again. Must be a bug in XP but
have never been able to fix this????? Only happens occasionally.

Cheers,
Larry

If you still have your old Office 2000 CD, you still have your
Shortcut Bar. Install your most recent Office software first, and then
install Office 2000 afterward--a custom installation of ONLY the
Shortcut Bar in the "Tools" folder of the install list.

I have used it with Office 2007 in Win XP for many years. (Absolutely
cannot operate without it!) AND now it is working smoothly, as it
always has, on Windows 7-64bit with the MS Office 2010 BETA version.

Perhpas this will help you get started:

If you can describe more details about the convenience you miss/seek
there may be other ideas.

What I find convenient is when move the mouse anywhere near the left side of
the screen (where I've put my shortcut toolbar, autohide mode) and not just
over a small area, the toolbar appears without clicking on anything, and
just the icons appears. I really prefer that the Quick Launch Bar .
