hi
I have seen so many apps using those fancy menu on the left side lately,
just like win xp uses it for different purposes (eg. system control).
Is there a free component that could provide such a thing?
ps.: i dont even know how these things are called ;)
 

Task bar is one of the descriptions.

What he's talking about is called a Task bar. For example, in XP, open
the Printer and Faxes folder. Click Tools>Folder Options. In the
Tasks group select 'Show common tasks in folder' and Click OK. Thge
panel at the left is a Task bar.
I know what you mean by the Outlook bar - it's functionality is just
different.

You can make an OutlookBar look like that. See TmsSoftware's Inspector Bar
which can look like an OutlookBar or what you described.

Yes -- Raize has a similar control which they call a GroupBar
(TRzGroupBar). The control has three styles (CategoryView, Outlook,
and TaskList) which change the functionality of the control. Developer
Express has the ExpressNavBar product and I'm sure there are dozens more.
The long and the short of it is (and to answer ike's question) ike is
looking for a free component and I don't think the majority of the
free Outlook bar components support the behavior he's looking for.
