I always hated the shortcut bar..  :)  Turned it off in outlook when I
used that, and I turned it off in Evo too ...  Seems
counter-intuitive..  If I have a folder, I probably want to store stuff
there..  I'd like to jump directly to it with a click, not search for it
or possibly forget it even exists..  :)
