3dsmax6 toolbars

[IchI]

Yo, i used to use 3dsmax 5 and now have moved to 3dsmax 6 but the interface has 1 difference, A major toolbar I used in 3dsmax 5 has like gone. I can't seem to find the button to active it. I have a picture of it but its really crap quality but its on the only image I can find. If you can't see it then its basiclly a toolbar made up of tabs. Inside these tabs they are geomtry, spacewarps, rendering... etc... Its basiclly the command pannel to the right of the interface broekn down into small icons. I have an image and hoppfully u will know what I am talking about. My reason for having this thread is obviase. How the hell do i get it on 3dsmax6? they can't have deleted it, it made the workflow much faster. PLLLLZZZZZ if u know can you help me. Its bugging me so much.

I can think of two options that might work

1. Customize - Customize User Interface - Toolbars, then im afraid your gonna have to search that massive list to find the right toolbar, sorry i have no idea what that particular tool bar is called.

2. Also if you still have Max 5 installed in that same menu above ^^ click save and i think this saves the current user interface, then you can load it in max 6.

Sorry if these dont work but this is all i can think of.

Try right clicking on the main toolbar and selecting "Tab Panel" from the context menu. This works in Max 5, and I'd assume its the same in 6.
