I have Windows Vista Home Premium. My printer stopped working recently and I spent a billion hours on the phone with Canon tech support then, after finding out it was caused by McAfee, McAfee tech support. The printer is now working, but I lost my little toolbar that I like and I can’t figure out how to get it back because I don’t know the little name they use for it.

It was a little 4" x 1" customizable bar, with 1/2" (so, large) icons. It originally came with IE, Windows Mail, Excel, Word, and a link to the webcam. The bar sat right above the taskbar, in the center of the screen. It is not the “sidebar” that you can add gadgets to. It would float above my open windows if I wanted it to.

What the hell is this thing called? I want it back - I had it set up just right and I launched everything from there every morning.
