Rearranging Toolbar Buttons

From TipWorld : It only takes a few seconds--you can rearrange toolbar buttons so that the buttons you use frequently are right where you want them. You can even remove  unwanted buttons to make room for more! To move a button, hold down the Alt key while you drag the button to a new location (a vertical bar will guide you where to drop the button). To remove a button, hold down the Alt key while you drag the button off the toolbar (drop the button when your mouse pointer becomes a trash can icon). Add  separators to add space between groups of buttons: right-click the toolbar, choose Edit, click and drag the separator box to the toolbar, drop the box between two groups, then click OK to save the change(s).
