    I recently plugged a data projector into my T530 which re-sized my screen and messed up all the toolbar icons. Now the toolbar icon for AC will not fit tight against any of the other Lenovo toolbars. Any ideas? Is there a way to select the order the appear? Thanks for any help or ideas.

    Uninstall and reinstall, from left-to-right order, with the Power Manager being the last one sticking out. (Why have so many Lenovo toolbar icons? One would need only Power Manager.)

    Kaso,

    I tried that and it didn't fix it. It seems to be something that win7 is "remembering." For whatever reason the AC toolbar wants space between it and any other toolbar. Any other ideas?

    The something that Windows 7 is "remembering" could be the language toolbar, and the gap between Lenovo toolbars could be Lenovo's clumpsy software implementation -- any (legitimate) disturbance to the desktop would cause this kind of krap to happen.

    You may want to check this and this to see if they provide any relevant ideas.

    (I keep only one Lenovo application/toolbar: Power Manager. Even if you use some or most of them, they don't need to appear prominently on the notification area. Why does ThinkVantage Toolbox need to sit there? Why do you need Access Connection?)
