What browser are you using sky?

I have vista too and was able to do it no problem with firefox but I haven't tried with IE. I know how important this is because I rely on it HEAVILY.

OK, I just went and did it. Here are the instructions for IE, sky (you can't drag the address, but drag the icon). Also, you have to pull the separator (that shows the links bar off to the side over close to the address entry spot so that it's completely viewable):

Customizing the Links bar
Published: November 19, 2006

Did you know that you can customize the Links bar in Windows XP SP2, and Windows Vista? You can add, remove, or rearrange shortcuts to your Favorites and folders of Favorites. Customizing the Links bar gives you one-click access to your favorite folders, and webpages.

Here's how:

To enable the Links bar in Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista

• Right-click on the Windows Taskbar. Click on Toolbars, and then click Links to select it (a checkmark will be displayed beside it)



You will now see "Links" added just to the left of the system tray on the taskbar.

To add a shortcut to the Links bar

• Drag the webpage's icon from the Address bar of the browser

• Drag a link from a webpage directly to the Links bar

• Drag a folder path from a search window to the Links bar

• Click the Add to Favorites/Bookmarks button in your browser, and then click Add to Favorites/Bookmarks. NOTE: If you are using a different browser this feature may not be implemented, or may work differently

• In the Add to Favorites dialog box, click the Create In dropdown list, and then select Links


To remove a shortcut from the Links bar

• Right-click the shortcut in the Links bar, and then click Delete

To rearrange how your Favorites show on the Links bar

• On the Links bar, drag a shortcut to a new location

After you've made space on the navigation bar to see them at all times, you can then right click them and select "rename" and shorten it to see more at one time. For instance PC's webpage name is pretty long, so I changed it to say "PC forums", etc.
