I was messing around with a toolbar and found a way to "move" one if you don't want to do this (harder) method.
1. With the mouse, click and drag the edge of the toolbar *farthest* from the edge of the screen towards the edge.
2. Before it auto-resizes back to its original size, grab the side of the toolbar that's *closest* to the edge and start pulling. Don't let go until the toolbar has become a window.
3. Have fun putting your toolbar wherever you want it.

Only 10 things Dave ..
Vista is so broken I refuse to allow it in my company. The cost of
re-training all the users and the Help Desk support required far outway any
benefits Vista may have
The real problem starts when Miscrosft stops supporting XP and forces you to
go Vista. I'll be researching converting my users to Linux very thoroughly to
see if that route is less painful than upgrading to Vista
No toolbar in Windows Explorer ... what were they thinking ... or were they
thinking at all.

Moving Toolbars
Hi all.
Under XP, I would create a new toolbar which pointed to the same location as
the Quick Launch toolbar. I would then move this, and have it up the side of
the screen. So basically, I had a standard Quick Launch at the bottom, and
then a repeat of it up the side, with shortcuts to my most-used apps. It was
a bit like the old-school Office toolbar. I tried adding the same thing in
Vista, but I can't move toolbars out from the main taskbar. I can move them
WITHIN the taskbar, just not out of it. Am I missing something? Is it even
possible? Seems like an odd feature to remove!

Re: Moving Toolbars
Work around
Create a New Folder on your desktop
Drag it to an edge--it becomes a toolbar
Right click it/Toolbars--choose an existing or choose New Toolbar and browse
to the desired folder on your hard drive
Close the "New Folder" toolbar and you are left with the one you just
created. Adjust the properties as you like
Why can't you just drag a toolbar out of the Main like you used to in XP
Because you just can't

Ahh, cool. I actually shortcutted it and just dragged the
%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer folder onto the side of the screen.
Saves adding another toolbar then closing it
Thanks for the help, though

One very simple method for adding, moving, creating, or deleting Shortcuts,
Note, this method is a bit tricky until *first* accomplished, just be patient
Carefully place the tip of your cursor approximately 1/8 inch to the right
from the most right Icon within Quick Launch; right click and a Menu Opens,
the top entry reads, ???Open Folder???, within the ???Open Folder??? do as you
desire, as, adding, moving, create, or delete Quick Launch Short Cuts, and
then quickly place the short cuts any where you desire, including adding to
or removing from Vista's Quick Launch Task Bar.
Locating the 1/8 inch area for placing the cursor???s Tip is a bit tricky
until the first time accomplished.

With appropriate academic and technical knowledge of Windows Vista, it is
very simple for removing an Icon from the Main, very contrary to your poor
and lacking technical understanding of Windows Vista.

Oh and by the way, here are the most current game statistics thus far:
You are losing.
Big time.
Barely a challenge, and I have not even had to take off the kid gloves yet.
But if I do, you will know.
Want some more statistics to play with?
Start up Windows Calculator--you DO know how, right?
Now, how many posts have you made to this group--with any of your various
pseudonyms? Go ahead and add them up.
Now subtract any that contained erroneous, blatantly false, or misleading
information.
From what is left, subtract all of your posts where you correctly
interpreted someone's problem or question, and correctly supplied the exact
solution.
Let me help you:
"Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'."
And some more statistics:
Hardly anybody here has called me an idiot (synonyms acceptable)for
providing incorrect or erroneous information.
How is your percentage going?
