How can i add a sideways scroll bar for my website so instead of my content getting rearranged and misplaced, people can just scroll to the right to see the rest of the content? My website is:

http://www.psphowtos.co.nr

I have viewed my site on several different computers with different screen resolutions and usually Internet Explorer rearranges my content, while Firefox always shows my site how it is supposed to be. So that is why i want a scroll bar. Thanks!!!

You might want to check out the CSS property "overflow". style="overflow: scroll;"

Don't. Just don't. Users are not used to scrolling sideways and a great percentage of your visitors won't. The bottom of the screen is the very last location a visitor will look for navigation (which has a biological reason: the part of the brain that helps you orientate is situated in your right-brain hemisphere, meaning you'll instinctively look on the left first, than on the top, than on the right and only than on the bottom).
You want to avoid sideways scrolling, not create it on purpose. Users judge your site by comparing it to the consistency they have come to know through other websites and if they notice you don't fit into that consistency, they'll most likely close the window and don't have another look at your page.
There are of course artistic reasons for creating sideways scrolling (e.g. a portfolio), but even than it's very risky because it will set off the visitor and for your site anyway there's no creative reason.

A scroll bar is what you use to go from left to right or up & down if everything doesn't fit on one screen. You can do that by creating frames. But I think what you really want is an extra NAVIGATION bar. Try "pull down menu" in the site tools section. You can also make your own. Do a table with one square for each button. Then in each square, put a picture of a button or other small object and make each picture be a link.

You should layout your site using tables and set the width explicitly like

...
so that browsers will give you the room you want for your layout.
