Popup folder from taskbar Ok so I would like to do something that is like a jumplist and a folder shortcut combined. I don't know if this is possible, that is why I am asking.
So what I am looking for is this:
-a shortcut on the taskbar. (must be able to have a icon)
-when left clicked a popup folder like below appears. (once a item in the popup is clicked the folder should disappear)
I know of similar ways with folder toolbars on the taskbar, but thats not what I am looking for. Thanks for reading.

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. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number acer timeline 3810t OS Windows 7 64-bit Windows 7 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Solo (1.4 GHz) Memory 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM - 1066 MHz SO DIMM 204-pin Graphics Card Intel GMA 4500MHD Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 Monitor(s) Displays Widescreen 13.3 in TFT active matrix Case # Ultraportable (Under 4 lbs.) , Budget Hard Drives # 250 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm |

What command in AHK does that? I'd like to know so I can do this myself.

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

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. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number acer timeline 3810t OS Windows 7 64-bit Windows 7 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Solo (1.4 GHz) Memory 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM - 1066 MHz SO DIMM 204-pin Graphics Card Intel GMA 4500MHD Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 Monitor(s) Displays Widescreen 13.3 in TFT active matrix Case # Ultraportable (Under 4 lbs.) , Budget Hard Drives # 250 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm |

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. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number acer timeline 3810t OS Windows 7 64-bit Windows 7 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Solo (1.4 GHz) Memory 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM - 1066 MHz SO DIMM 204-pin Graphics Card Intel GMA 4500MHD Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 Monitor(s) Displays Widescreen 13.3 in TFT active matrix Case # Ultraportable (Under 4 lbs.) , Budget Hard Drives # 250 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm |
