The toolbar in the "Microsoft Windows Common Controls" may do what you need, you can add buttons and remove them in code, and dock it where you want. Have a look at it if you need any help with it post back.

In addition to steve's comments www.vbaccelerator.com has a "rebar" control that does a similar thing.

Create a new project and add an imagelist to the form and a toolbar. Add to image icons to the image list and give them key values of image1 and image2.

Then add the code below

Private Sub Form_Load()     With Toolbar1              .Align = vbAlignBottom              .TextAlignment = tbrTextAlignRight              .ImageList = ImageList1                  .Buttons.Add , "Button1", "Button1", , "Image1"                  .Buttons.Add , "Button2", "Button2", , "Image2"          End With End Sub

Are you launching the applications from your vb6 program or are you using the windows to do it.

im using vb6 to open the application, they will click an icon then the application will open just like the ie, notepad, yahoo messenger etc.
