How do I create a folder toolbar with an icon instead of text?

Hi everyone,

I have a folder full of icons on my desktop, and I would like to pin this to my taskbar. I don't want to pin it as an icon that opens the folder when I click on it, but instead I want it pinned as a toolbar, so that when I click it, a menu pops up with all the icons on it and I can choose the one I want (if all that makes sense).

I created a new toolbar from the folder, but this creates a toolbar with a text title. If I go into the toolbar properties and switch off the text, the toolbar then shows some of the icons inside, which I don't want. Is it possible to create a toolbar that has an icon instead of a text title?

perhaps not exactly what you want, but may work for you. have a look at this tutorial:

Taskbar - Separate Pinned Programs

Jo6Pak - Tried it, and it wasn't what I was looking for. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

I create a desktop toolbar and then drag it to the bottom of my task bar. Then I right click on the tool bar and deselect 'show text' and 'show title'. I end up with a tool bar with all desktop icons that autohides with the taskbar

In rereading the OP I think you are right Mitchell. I guess I'm being proactive and answering questions that haven't been asked yet.

But that is not what the OP is trying to do!!!!!

That is the method to be able to show an icon though, they do need to provide an icon as you suggested.

I have seven toolbars on my taskbar, using icons from the tutorials Brink made.
