    How do you convert a folder of shortcuts to a toolbar in Win7? In XP it's as simple as dirt, just drag the folder to an unused edge of the screen.

    I remember reading somewhere that this 'feature' has been dropped in Windows 7.. and the closest you can get is to pin the folder to the taskbar and when clicked it brings up an explorer style list of the shortcuts in the folder..

    Or else, take a look here: Free Launch Bar - Free replacement for standard Quick Launch

    Btw, why don't you just pin the shortcuts to the taskbar (if its not too many?) Or simply get a dock?
