IE7 moving toolbar

Having recently switched back to IE, I am regretting my choice already. For
one thing, the toolbars move around on their own even though they're locked.
I've searched for a remedy to this but found nothing specific. Can anyone
here offer a solution? On my system, the menu and link toobars move around
when I create a new tab. There may be other instances where those toolbars
move as well. What is the fix?

Asked/Answered yesterday in this newsgroup.

What kind of retarded answer is this? I posted a completely different
question yesterday. That topic was about skins for IE7. Now I post a
question about the toolbars which wrongly keep moving around even when
they've been locked and you refer me to my own question about skins???
Thanks PA Bear and I hope its not asking too much to actually read a
question first.

Umm... thanks but I'm not using Quero. The link you provided and my
previous request for IE skins have absolutely nothing to do with my
question/issue about the IE toolbars moving around.

Still unanswered question:
Does anybody have a solution to stop the IE toolbars from moving around
after they've been locked? The menu and link toolbars, which I put on
separate rows, jump to share the same row inadvertantly. I don't want this
to happen and it occurs even when the toolbars are locked. For example,
when creating a new tab, the menu and link toolbars collapse into the same
row. I'd like this action to stop. Any fixes? Thanks.

Other than Quero Toolbar (which allows you to customize the IE7 toolbar
layout), there are only limited changes you can make to the IE-specific
toolbars (e.g., Menu bar; Command bar).

Third-party toolbars, especially multiple toolbars (e.g., Google; Yahoo;
Windows Live; Skype; Roboform; etc.) however can be a big problem. Most of
them have very strong opinions of where they should be located: You might be
able to move them around but they'll hardly ever stay in the new
position(s), even if you Lock the toolbar.

Also related to the postitioning problem is the version (age) of the
third-party toolbar(s) you have installed. It's best to make sure you've
done a clean install of the most recent version(s), and only install the
ones you simply can't /live/ without.

Deerslayer,

You should listen to PA Bear. His suggestion to look at the Quero tool bar
is a good one. I have been using it for over a year and it transforms
Internet Explorer into an easily manageable format with NO adverse effects.
Get rid of all of those controlling, intrusive toolbars (Google, Yahoo,
etc.) and just use basic IE with the Quero toolbar. It allows you to move
just about anything to just about anywhere you would like it to appear, then
lock it in place. If you decide you don't like it, a single click returns
you to the basic Internet Explorer format. My guess is that once you try
the Quero toolbar, you would never go back.

And BTW, I have no connection with Quero or Viktor Krammer other than being
a very satisfied user of his free Quero toolbar.
