Simplest way is to check "Same Size" on Properties | Bars, then set the 
width of your first button to the max. width you expect to need. They 
don't auto-size this way, but the bar looks like you want.

I don't think there's any way to force Windows' Alt-Tab to see the 
virtual desktops. However, the KeyTrap plug-in will allow you to map your 
own bar to Alt-Tab; for example, add this to your keytrap.ini:

18,0,0,15,9,0,,Bar show SwapBar,0,1,0,,,,,

..and Alt-Tab will show a bar called SwapBar when you press Alt-Tab 
(make the 6th field "1" rather than "0" to show it when you press *and 
release* Alt-Tab). You'll have to work out how to then choose the button 
you want by tabbing so you don't need a mouse click...but I'm sure it can 
be done.

My Computer is problematic because it's not a "real" folder. Here's a way 
to get a two-paned My Computer view, though you may or may not like its 
side effects:

- Open an explorer window and find the "File Types" dialog (it's View | 
Options | File Types in '98, but Tools | Folder Options | File Types in 
2k; don't ask me about XP)

- Scroll down until you get to a file type that's just called "Folder"

- Highlight it and click the "edit" button in '98 or "advanced" in 2k

- You should see "open" and "edit" entries. Hilight "edit" and click "Set 
Default"

- Now, when you click the My Computer icon in your desktop, you should 
get a 2-pane view.

- Next, create a shortcut to My Computer and put it somewhere convenient 
(I have a Shortcuts folder in my PowerPro folder)

- For the PowerPro button that you want to open My Computer, change its 
command to, e.g., Shortcuts/My Computer.lnk (assuming you just named the 
shortcut "My Computer" and that it's in a Shortcuts folder within the 
PowerPro folder).

Now this button will open My Computer in two-pane view. Unfortunately, 
EVERY folder icon that you double-click in Windows (e.g., the desktop My 
Documents icon, for example) will also open in 2-pane view, since you set 
that as the default. You may or may not like that. BUT, the PowerPro 
*Exec Explorer command will still work normally! So, any folder you use 
*Exec Explorer to open will open in single-pane.
