Nice idea!

But it doesn't work on multi monitor environment properly. E.g. I have 3 monitors and the slider will be displayed between two monitors - not on very left side. Maybe you can add where to position the slider rather than on the left side.

Previous version was at the top of screen but as i said, it's annoying for navigation

Updated

"Display Name" and Icon can now be changed by new context menu
This makes it easier to identify the buttons, especially when they are folders that all have the same icon

All Changes are saved in SlidingToolBar.ini file 
located to TempDir & "\SlidingToolBar" directory

Added by default some basic special folders in the default creation of the
SlidingToolBar.ini file (Rename previous one if you want to try)

Ini file example, who can be easily edited
