DigeratiPrime Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I am looking for a way to Pin a folder shortcut to StartMenu or Taskbar so that the contents are displayed in the Jump List. By default a folder can be pinned but the contents are opened in a new window.For example I want to Pin the Microsoft Office folder from "Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office" to the StartMenu/Taskbar and see Word, Excel, etc when right clicking on it.

Mr Snrub Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 There might be a smarter way that I don't know of, but out of the box you can use the folder as the basis for a new toolbar and then shrink it down to its smallest size - the ">>" icon the acts as a hack-job jump list.There is this tool "Jumplist Launcher" that I've not tried myself to know if it does what you want, but it might be worth investigation:Jumplist Launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well I tried both of those methods and another program called 7stacks which is very close to what i want. I don't like the glass though, and would rather the shortcuts be displayed in the JumpList menu.[edit] link to 7stackshttp://www.alastria.com/index.php?p=software-7s-scrshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajua Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I will try 7stacks as well.Hopefully the makers of True Launch Bar keep up to speed and update it to support Superbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have a similar request (enough not to make a new topic) to this one. Say I have an existing icon in the Start Menu, but it shows up under the cut. I want to get that shortcut to be pinned to the Start Menu so that you see it right away without having to click the Programs bar. Any ideas?EDIT: Third party software need not apply.
