Removing the Today Scrollbar

Hi All,

I know my Today (desktop) screen gets a bit congested at times when i have a
few appointments etc etc, but i find the scrollbar very annoying on the
righthand side.

is there away of turning off the scrollbar so its not shown?

Thanks

There is no way I know of changing the toolbar to be off on Today, but there
are ways to change the toolbar width to create really thin scrollbars. The
problem is that it's system-wide, not just on the Today screen. The exact
registry edit can be found at multiple sites, one of which happens to be

Hi,

We offer a product called Dashboard which eliminates the scrollbar from the
Today page. It does this by allowing you to configure your Today plugins on
up to 8 different 'views' of the Today page. It's like having a bunch of
separate Today pages. All easily accessible. If you're happy with the
today plugins you have now you can use our Mini Dashboard product that only
comes with the multiple Today page functionality and has no built in Today
modules.

Trial versions are available on our site.

As luck would have it, a `fix` has come along just now to make one of the
other plugins i use smaller when required!

Thanks all for response.
