You can easily rearrange your toolbars by simply putting your mouse over the grip control (the four vertical dots to the left of every toolbar):

 

You will get the four-directional mouse pointer. Now just CLICK AND DRAG the toolbar to the new position you would like to put it in:

 

Be careful, it's real easy to get a shortened toolbar on your hands when moving toolbars around:

 

This may be exactly what you want:

 

If not, however, just CLICK AND DRAG the grip control of the toolbar to the right of the shortened toolbar and uncover as many buttons as you want:

 

 

In VS2008 you can also make the toolbar a floating one by dragging it off the toolbar area:

 

To put it back just CLICK AND DRAG anywhere on the Title Bar of the toolbar and put it back up top.
