Popup folder from taskbar

Ok so i found a way using Auto Hotkey its a rather complicated script, but it does it pretty dang well. Only down side so far is you have to manually enter every item you want in the pop up. So if anyone else has a better idea im still all ears.

Found a even better way using Auto Hotkey and Jumplist Launcher together.

It appears to me that Toolbars are a lot easier for what you like to do. Why did you exclude toolbars as an option? Just curious.

What i do is have jumplist start a simple script from autohotkey when you click it. All the script does is send a right click to the location of the shortcut. so thus right clicking will pop up the jumplist.

Code:

send {click right 170,750} ; "170,750" is the location for my shortcut

You can just have it send a right click, but jumplist isnt always fast enough at starting the script, so if you move your mouse off of the shortcut it does nothing.
I just wish there was a command where you could send a mouse click without moving the actual mouse location.

The reason why I dont want the toolbars is i can only have it on the right or left of the task bar and to have it pop up in the manner i like it doesnt look very nice.

nope, i dont know all that stuff. I just know the simple things.

Looks like you also cant put a exact position, cause sometimes it will get messed up according to what window is active.

So if your interested Prisoner this code works:

Code:

winactivate ahk_class WorkerW
winwaitactive ahk_class WorkerW
send {Click Right 170, 750}

It activates the desktop, waits till its active then sends a right click at the shortcuts location, that way theres never a issue with mouse position.

Can someone marked this as solved cause I dont know how. Thanks.

I really do not want to convince you of taskbars, but mine look pretty nice.
