Controlling your Windows Toolbar locations

Does anyone know of a third party utility or Registry tweaks that can save and restore 
your Windows toolbar locations and order?

I use the http://www.pcmag.com/utilities/
free program called WinTidy to manage icon locations for every resolution. It's great 
but the icon locations on your desktop are only half the battle. Programs sometimes 
change the size or locations of your toolbars even if you've locked them in XP.

Are there any third party utilities that can save / restore / manage your toolbar 
locations and sizes?

I keep a 3 column horizontal toolbar setup at the bottom of my screen. The botton 
toolbar is to My Computer, middle is the taskbar, and the top is Quick Launch.  

It only takes one program to mess them all up.
And hours to put them all back again under the limited tools Microsoft gives us.

Currently they are all vertical and it's a real pain to try and get the Taskbar, 
and Quick Launch to set above the My Computer toolbar.
