Preventing Unwanted Toolbars From Opening

Many of Rhino users use also other 3rd party plug-ins to get more from Rhino. Those plug-ins including "V-Ray for Rhino" and "Bongo" have their own toolbars for a better user interface. But we don't use them always and they don't care if we use them or not and they stay on our screen. You close the toolbar, do your work and close Rhino. On next launch, they say "hi" again and you close them again... Changing the toolbar's name or relocating its file does not work. Here is a friendly solution:

New Rhino Interface Concept

Rhino 5 users know it has many interface improvements according to the previous version. Tabbed interface and sidebars were the most important ones so far.
The custom workspace mode I prepared for Rhino 4 is here. If you get the idea, you will see how I got close to Rhino 5's tabbed toolbars while there were no betas around. (WIP was being developped but I was not using it those days.)
Now I'm working on a new interface which is based on pop-up toolbars. This interface prevents toolbars to take space while modelling on viewports and maximize the workspace. Here are the mock-up toolbar images:

An Example For "BooleanUnion Seamless" Operation

The screenshot below explains the problem clearly. Two separate and closed boxes are used for union:

When you need this shape in Rhino, you either draw a rectangle, two circles and trim unnecessary parts or draw two lines and two arcs.
Here is the third method:

Keeping Rhino Synced Between Computers

I have Rhino installed in two PC's, one at home and one at office. It is really confusing when I try to use Rhino both at home and at office because as you know I love to configure my workspace frequently. Also I save my favorite and most used V-Ray materials and options separately.

Since McNeel/Rhino does not have a 'user profile+cloud' membership, we can't "log-in" to Rhino after we install it on a new computer and it comes with the default settings, toolbars etc.
Here is the best solution the industry has ever developed: Dropbox!
