With XP Pro you've got two options for a My Computer toolbar. Leave it permanently
parked on the Taskbar or let it float somewhere on your Desktop.
I've always wanted to create a My Computer menu someplace else. An app called Advanced Launcher seemed to be the solution until I tried it. It creates a My Computer
menu in the Tray (Notification Area) but it's extremely limited. Single files can be
selected. Opening a partition or folder window is not possible.
I'd be happy with a floating My Computer toolbar if it became visible only when it's
needed. Is there an app that will hide a Desktop toolbar, making it visible with mouse
gesture like dragging the edge of your monitor?
I've searched for an app that will create a fully functional My Computer menu in the Tray,
or hide a floating My Computer toolbar until it's needed. Can't find anything that will do
the job.
