Office Shortcut Bar Misbehaves in Office 2003

Office Shortcut Experts:

I requested my employer's computer support folks install
MS-Office Shortcut Bar from an older version of Office,
because we upgraded to Office 2003. My current OS spec
is "Windows-XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633:
Service Pack 1)". Unfortunately, since I run Office
Shortcut Bar as a "floating rectangle" on my desktop, I
have encountered a persistant problem with Shortcut Bar
popping back onscreen repeatedly whenever it is covered by
another window. Yes, I have Auto Hide activated. Using
Tweak-UI's X-Mouse behavior makes this situation worse,
but when I turn X-Mouse off, Shortcut Bar continues to
repeatedly pop onscreen to distraction. It redisplays
itself whenever a minized window is restored, for example.

For my purposes, Shortcut Bar is *far* superior to Windows-
XP's native Toolbars, but I'd really like to resolve its
random self-redisplay problem if a fix exists.

Has anyone running Shortcut Bar on Windows-XP encountered
and resolved similar problems? Is anyone aware of any
fixes for Shortcut Bar's unruly screen behavior? I would
guess a fix would be done in the Registry, but I don't
know where Shortcut Bar's settings are kept.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
Harold
