I don't know if I can explain my problem clearly but I'll try.

I'm trying to make a Start menu that has 2 sections in it. At the top, I want the content of the Programs menu (I don't want a button that pops up another menu, but I want the actual Programs menu listed), then under I want a container with 4 or 5 buttons for different functions (Log off, Shut down, Search, Help, Run Programs, etc.).

I started by putting it all in the same floating bar. Except there are two problems with this: 1- When the Programs list is too long, it overlaps on top on my other buttons underneath. 2- When the Programs list is long I want to have the scoll arrows at the top and bottom, but I want them to scoll only the programs list. I'd like to have the Log off, etc. buttons stay there.

Now after that, I figured maybe I should make those 2 different bars, a little like I saw the Windows XP objectbar was made (Windows XP object bar has 4 floating bars as the Start menu). Now this almost works, except that I don't know how to make my 2 bars join together so it looks like one menu, not have two seperate bars pop up. In other words, where can I configure the position of the floating bars?

Help please! This is very irritating.
