me neither. I see a lot of "custom toolbars" but they are all like Yahoos' or Googles'; not really what I'm after. I thought about creating a framed webpage with my links at the top, but that won't work for sites that open in a new window. I don't think there is anything I can do.
For the most part I have an efficient system; I search all my favorite sites from the address bar, enabled by some code that edited the registry, (but I forget the site that has the code generator) For example, if I want to search Amazon I just type the letter "a" with a space bar then the search string.
Then I have my favorite links as shown in the picture. Plus, I have customized links on my homepage that allow me to open multiple pages at once. Say, for example, I want to open UK news sites, I just click on link and about 15 UK newspaper sites open in separate windows.
I spend hours trying to figure out how to save a few seconds!
