windows xp taskbar toolbars drop down folder
Posted by obaqueiro@gmail.com on February 15th, 2006


Hello, I have done this before but I do not remember how...

I have a toolbar on windows XP taskbar which contains some folders.
This folders have shortcuts to some programs. When I click on one of
the folders Windows opens the explorer showing the contents of the
folders. If I click while holding CTRL key a dropdown menu appears.

Now, what I want to do is to avoid having to click CTRL to show the
dropdown menu. I remember I had to modify a registry key to make a smal
triangle appear at the right side of the folder name which showed the
dropdown menu with the folder contents when pressed.

Does anyone know how to achieve that? again , I did it some time ago
but do not remember how, I did it on Xp and 2000.

Thank you.
