Windows 7 - Q: How to pull Link toolbar off taskbar?

| | Q: How to pull Link toolbar off taskbar? I want to setup a Link toolbar on the right side of my screen to hold shortcuts. I can do this in WinXP by ripping a Link toolbar off the taskbar and sticking it to the right side of the screen. Problem with Windows 7 is I can't seem to rip a Link toolbar off the taskbar. Can this be done? I don't want to use StarDock ObjectDock or anything like that. A simple Link toolbar with auto-hide enabled is all I need.  Last edited by SmokeyMoe; 01-26-2009 at 04:26 PM..

| | Hi SmokeyMoe, and welcome to Seven Forums. You could create a new folder somewhere to use to create a new taskbar toolbar with for the shortcuts. You would then just place any shortcut you like in the new folder to be displayed in the toolbar. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Thanks for replying Shawn. Solution is ok, but I'd prefer to have a sidebar with big multi-column icons as shown in the XP screenshots above^^. I will live with taskbar only limitation if need be, or will force myself to use a commercial dock if no alternative can be found.  Last edited by SmokeyMoe; 01-26-2009 at 05:18 PM..

| | Use Stardock Object Dock for instance. Very customaizable, looks good and a base version is free. Greetz, GHad |

| | No problem SmokeyMoe, but the only way to get what you want exactly is with a 3rd party program.  |

| | Sorry for bringing this up, but i was looking for a way to detach a new toolbar from taskbar but i ended up with the conclusion that Brink gave.. It's not possible. MS removed the function. So the only solution to my prob was on this video i made so i can show the function of the old XP behavior to the new 7 restriction. Ps. Kudos to 7forums where given cause i want more people to find the right place for help. I used a software unfamiliar to me so i tried to do my best. |
