You're most welcome ADJ. :)
Using Option Two with the toolbar on the right, you should be able to drag it to the right until all you see is the folder and the expansion arrow above it.
Yeah, since Option One will work for you, then that'll make it easier to drag it where you like within the pinned program icons.
Excellent Tutorial. I just came across it. Just what I needed. Thanks again,
Graham
I honestly only registered here because of you and this thread.
I wan't to thank you for taking the time to make a very detailed tutorial on how to work the toolbar. Your thread helped me a lot.
Thank you sir.
Just like @F4r3r, I too joined to say thank you for this tutorial/thread. For me, option 1 didn't work, but I tried option 2 and it worked great. Option 1 only kept showing me the contents of the folder in an opened Windows Explorer window. Option 2 let me cascade (and thus easily access) the items within the folder (aka toolbar) directly from my taskbar. This makes life much easier for me, especially when I have 10 or more apps opened full screen and I need to get to one of my commonly used items real quick (and I want to keep everything opened full screened without minimizing everything).
Also, I wanted to add an additional trick for anyone else who uses this thread. Once you complete the steps in this tutorial, also add the new folder shortcut to the following folder:
"C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo"
- replacing <User Name> with your user name
Now, whenever you want to add a new item to the folder/toolbar, all you have to do is "Sent To" the new folder and a copy of the item will be appear in the nicely cascaded list.
Thanks again
Good tutorial
Thank you for the turorial :) I'm experiencing the following issue,the settings are set to default when I restart the computer Any solutions?
The issue's got fixed!
I'm afraid that I need more details and screenshots about your issue. I don't understand what you mean.
That was like : I followed the tutorial and succesfully pinned a folder to the taskbar, the task had been accomplished,but when I restarted the computer,there folder wasn't on the taskbar anymore, that's why I posted here.
Sorry if this was already addressed.
I followed method one and created the shortcut and have it pinned. BUT now when I click on the pinned shortcut, I have to choose which program to use to open it every time. "Open With" does not appear on the context menu to permanently assign a program to this shortcut.
Any help is appreciated.
PS: What I have pinned is the Windows Hosts text file, because I often add sites to block. This file has no file extension.
