folder.

into the following folder: C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\Shortcut Bar

Toolbars tab, then Add toolbar and choose Make Toolbar for
this folder.
7) Browse to: C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\Shortcut Bar and choose the folder(s) that you

later you can drag any shortcuts on to the bar.
