I pull out the quick bar with mouse to top or one sides of desktop, that's means i create a new bar on desktop like ubuntu linux. This way you have two bars with no increase stress to you system performance. I bet you don't now this ;) Since winXp i use quick launch toolbar with 20 icons but not on start bar.

I have three lines of twelve icons visible and five more icons behind the double arrow menu. If you hover over the double dots next to the double arrows you can drag the bar to increase or decrease the size of the icon display area to suit your needs. The more you have visible, the fewer clicks you need. You can also arrange the icons in order of importance by draging them to the order you want. It sure allows you to clean up the desktop too. Try it. I think you will like it. Michael,

I add these items directly into the "C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" folder.

I don't remember how I got that very convenient arrangement, but it is much better than increasing the size of the taskbar, which reduces the room for the windows you want to display.
