Top & Bottom Taskbar

Most people leave the taskbar at the bottom of the screen; others like it at the top. IE lets you put it on both the top and the bottom. Simply drag and drop the individual toolbars you want to the top, and leave minimized applications at the bottom. Right-click on the items you have at the top, select Properties and check Always on Top so maximized windows don't cover it. You can also check the Auto Hide option.
