Modifying the Insert bar

You can move objects from one category to another, rename categories, and completely
remove objects from the panel. To make the changes appear in the Insert bar, you must either
restart Dreamweaver or reload extensions. For information on reloading extensions, see
"Reloading extensions" on page
To move or copy an object from one Insert bar category to another or to a new

On your disk, move the object's HTML, GIF, and JavaScript files out of their current
folder, and put them into a folder that isn't listed in the insertbar.xml file. For example,
you can create a new folder in the Configuration/Objects folder named Unused, and move
the object's files there. (If you're certain you want to remove the object, you can delete
those files entirely; however, it's a good idea to keep backups of those files in case you need
to restore the object later.)
