Windows Toolbars

[Golding]

Hey All,

Wondering if its easy to setup something to automatically put a folder as a toolbar in XP (on the bottom right of the screen, near the clock)

i thought it would be as simple as copying the folder to a "Toolbar" folder in the Documents and Settings area but couldnt find anything?

At the moment im doing it manually for a few computers but would love it if theres an area i can copy to, then can create a .bat file.

Get Windows 7. Inbuilt feature that allows this exact thing.

Can't help you otherwise though

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for, but if it's what I think it is there's quite a few programs that will minimise things to the system tray.

its for work and i highly doubt my work will change over 40 offices to a beta version of an OS for a toolbar haha.... although it would be awesome!

what im after is similar to the attached image

But replace Desktop with a folder of my choice.

Don't you just right click on the toolbar go to Toolbars - New Tool Bar - then pick the folder you want?

yeah you can, or you can drag the folder down there.

but i want to do it via a batch file or similar, so that when a new starter is setup, they run the batch file and it sets up everything. atm my batch file does most things i need to do and if it could do this it would be awesome, save heaps of time.

i thought there might be a chance its as simple as adding things to the start menu or desktop (just copy to a folder) but it looks like im out of luck
