Outlook 2010 - favourite folders

[Pawnless Endgame]

My Outlook at work has 4 accounts + public folders. I have cherry-picked about 12 favourite folders to have on the navigation bar. However, the 4 accounts (when not expanded) still takes up about a third of the nav bar below the favourites so that not all 12 folders are in view. Is there a way of hiding the accounts bit? It must not involve any registry hacks or 3rd party software as it's a works machine. I have already looked on Google and reg hacks / installs are the only solutions I can find

I would like it to look more like this, so that the 12 favourites occupy most of the nav bar. Then keep the icons at the bottom for changing views to calendar, all mail items, tasks etc.

Office 97 handled it better where I was able to spread the favourites across nearly the whole nav bar. It was handy because each fave showed the number of unread messages:

I take it getting a higher resolution monitor from IT is not an option?

Unhelpful.
