New User - TLB Keeps Changing Configuration

Well, let I answer here. I hope your name is Jim. I get all emails from you.

I recreated my TLB and rebooted and this time it started OK, but the configuration had changed - the groupings I had created were moved and the separators were gone.

How have you recreated toolbar? Uninstall/Install? During uninstalling TLB runs the clearing utility. This utility removes all TLB settings except the shortcuts.

Finally with much tweaking I seemed to have it working OK, but then my extra icons -- I believe they are what was already in the QuickLaunch menu -- keep reappearing.

I've suggested to rebuild your toolbar configuration a bit. But seems you don't understand me (sorry, my English is not perfect). I've prepared two screenshots. The first scrennshot show your current layout. The second is what suggested. I've marked by red color the difference.

So I suggested to create one more menu and move all shortcuts and menus into this newly created menu.

Currently TLB have some problems when you have the automatically created menu with two arrows (>>). Moving all items into regular menu will solve the problem.

I wrote to TLB Support last week and Yuri asked me to send him a screenshot and a backup file, which I did. I did get one reply back from Yuri and since then I have not heard from him. I giess we only get one contact.

I sorry for delay.

I tried to move the current TLB but there does not appear to be anyway to do that. Do I have to keep deleting toolbars and recreating them? Can I setup several and load only the one or ones I want?

Yes you can. This feature is "Switch toolbar". Open TLB Settings->Toolbars and create new toolbars with own folders. After creating extra toolbars you can right-click TLB, select "Switch toolbar" submenu and select the toolbar you need.

Also, how are others using TLB? Is there a gallery anywhere to get ideas from?
