I used to love this once, when you're a child it feels like hacking, like forcing Windows to have a second start menu (if you make the new toolbar small enough, the folder contents appear as a menu).
- thom 7y agoYeah, you have to fiddle a bit to get them to minimum width with the ">>" menu and no extra space. Obvious search is more or less good enough now, but you still can't drag from the start menu.
- netsharc 7y agoA long time ago (Windows 98? 2000?), you can add the IE address bar to the taskbar, but it also had auto-complete for directories, so if you wanted to open C:\Projects\Foobar\main.c you could just type a few letters and open that file. It also let you drag and drop the icon (where IE would show you the favicon) to any open program. Sadly this behavior got changed later, so drag & drop no longer works...
- thom 7y agoYeah, I think I used this, even justifying a two-row taskbar for a while. There even used to be a Google widget to search from the taskbar (and yet here I am instantly turning off web searches in the start menu out of sheer disgust).
