    Change file dropping behavior on taskbar?


    Hi,

    I just found the registry tweak for opening the last used window/tab on the taskbar with a left click, Changing window selection behavior in the taskbar. I was wondering if it is possible to open a file instead of pinning it when dropping that file on a taskbar icon? I know about holding shift and dropping it on the icon, which is not a pain, but having it do it automatically would be great. I also know about the apps available to do this, but I would much prefer using the registry. Anyway, thanks for your time.

Hello, I need to allow full screen Windows applications overlapping task bar under Windows 7. The "auto hide" is not the option due to user requirements I don't want to describe here. One possible solution is to change the code of those applications to allow them overlapping task bar, but it...
