Folder in taskbar that opens in a new icon

[DonMowgli]

Hi everybody, I have a small problem. I used to have a icon in my taskbar that opened a specific folder on my computer, when I clicked the icon the folder would open in a window next to the icon (I hope you understand what I mean).

The problem now is that I accidentally deleted the icon and when I try to pin the folder it opens in the same icon. Does anyone know how to get it back to the way it was?

Welcome to Seven Forums, friend!

Ah, yes, this kind of stuff has happened to me a lot. Currently, I do not have an answer off the top of my head, but I will definitely take a look at it as soon as I get home (in a few hours). Hopefully I'm not too late to help.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I got it working

I had to create a fake exe file, then pin it to the taskbar. After that I renamed and changed the destination and it worked.

Ahh ok. I'm glad it worked out! I will remember that method for the next time it happens to me.

Just don't delete the fake file that you create, otherwise the link will automatically go back to explorer
