I'm not sure if this is the place to request features or not, but I was wondering if there was any way to get folders that are pinned to the menu to act like a toolbar instead of a shortcut?
For example, if I create a toolbar for a folder on the Windows taskbar (I'm in Vista, same UI in XP, not sure about Win7), I can shrink it down so that it gives me an expanding icon that lets me see the folder's contents in a browsable window.
In DF it looks like I can create a shortcut to that folder, but that always opens in a new Windows Explorer window.
Thanks!
It's not currently possible, but I've added it to our feature request list.
Thanks!

I would like to second this request.
Attached , you will find two illustrations that show my use case. I have five toolbars on my Windows taskbar, each of which links to a folder in my user profile:
- Work - for applications that I use as part of my job
- DocList- for specific documents
- Ctrl Panel - for commmonly-used Control Panel functions
- Utilities - for helpful non-system tools
- Internet - for different browsers and URLs
It would be great if I could move these to the DF taskbar instead. My ideal solution is for each toolbar to have an option for text/icons/both.
If there is an existing way to imitate this setup, I can try adapting to that. But my current attempt (using a taskbar shortcut to the folder in a new Explorer window) just isn't cutting it.

Unfortunately there isn't currently a way to do what you're looking for, but I've added your vote to the feature request for toolbar support and we'll keep you posted when we're able to implement it.
Thanks!
@skilledpt: This is currently on our feature request list, so I've added your vote to it. We'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it in the future.
Thanks!
