Hi Yodaman,
You can customize the IE7 toolbar to some degree....
Right-click on the toolbar and uncheck "Lock Toolbars".... you should see a
gripper (looks like | on the left hand side of each toolbar and the command
bar) appear.
If you double-click the 'gripper' the toolbar it belongs to will resize,
either expanding or contracting to show or hide its contents (this works in
all versions of IE). You can double click on the Command bar gripper to
resize it to show your tabs.
There are known issues with some toolbars, like Google, Yahoo and Live which
prevent you from moving multiple toolbars to one line. Check with the
toolbar vendors for the latest versions of their toolbars or you can
download a small registry fix for Google from

or for the Yahoo Toolbar from

An Addon to customize the IE7 toolbar is available from
http://www.iecustomizer.com/?url=IE7TBTweaks_Download.asp
IE7 takes some time to get used to it.
If you want to go back to 6, but want tabbed browsing there is the Live
Toolbar with tabbed browsing.. Uninstall IE7, which will restore IE6 in its
place, then go to toolbar.live.com and download and install that toolbar
which has tabbed browsing for IE6. It is not as good as IE7 though IMHO.
Regards.
