I have been missing the ability to split the quick launch and dock it since XP was the last time you could. I had a dedicated auto hiding bar on the right where I put shortcuts to all of my most used folders and applications. I have looked for solutions that brought that functionality back off and on, but never found anything.

Most things are close, but not quite right, and/or very "bloated" (for what I want it to do, not necessarily for what it was designed to do). It's so dumb.

Just a slight correction, Vista was the last time you could split toolbars off of the taskbar like that, its taskbar was basically the same as XP still. The redesign in 7 was when we lost that ability.

Will say the docked toolbars did look significantly worse in vista as they all got an wide aero border

Huh, thinking about it I'm not sure if I ever really ran Vista on my main desktop at home, so that would make sense. I think I went from my roided out XP x64 image to win 7 despite using Vista quite a bit when working on customer's PCs. Thanks for the correction, cheers.
