One thing you can do is set up all the icons you want on the screen to the right as I show in the attached image. All you need to do is shrink the icons, rather than close them when done, then put them where you want them on the workspace. You can even then go ahead and save your set up as a project and load it up each time you start and it will be just like you set it up the first time.
Hope that helps,
Jim
