Windows has had a dockable Taskbar for a while now. You could leave the Start
Menu, Programs list at the bottom, move the Explorer Address bar to the top
and have a New Toolbar pointing to a Data Folder - showing a list of
documents etc. down the side of a large widescreen. Greatly improved
usability of the interface. With two screens you could have 2 (or more)
address bars e.g. one at the top of each screen.

Where has this dockability gone in Vista?

- is there alternative functionality to achieve these functions -> direct
web address access, desktop list of specified folders in customizable
locations.
 
Don't think it's available now - I certainly can't do this on any of my
machines.

What about DeskBands? Are they still running on Vista? I've implementet
a DeskBand on Xp and it runs fine. I don't have Vista to test this.
 
He's asking about the ability to drag that clutter to other edges of the
screen, which appears to be gone in Vista beta 2.
