2 Odd Issues

[rctneil]

Hey,

I have just reinstalled Windows 7 onto my new SSD and ahve got two issues that are annoying me which I hope you knowledgeable peeps can help me sort out.

1.) I want to place a shortcut to a specific folder on the windows 7 taskbar as a pinned item. To do this i went to that folder, right-clicked and choose "Create Shortcut" and then dragged this onto the taskbar where it showed up fine... However, when i click it to open the shortcut, it ALWAYS goes to Libraries and not the folder i specified. How can I fix this?

2.) I have just installed iTunes and pinned the iTunes desktop shortcut to my taskbar. When i click the shortcut, it opens another icon on the taskbar right next to the pinned item. So when iTunes is running I see 2 icons on it. How can this be solved?

Thanks

Neil

@marc2003 - That worked perfectly thanks.

Now for pinning a shortcut to a specific folder and getting to actually go to that folder when clicked! - I managed to do this on my old install but just forgotten how to do it!

1. Make a folder C:\Shortcuts
2. Put some shortcuts in it
3. Right click on the taskbar and say "new toolbar", select your folder

Customise
a. Right click taskbar and Lock/Unlock to reposition your shortcuts toolbar
b. Right click your shortcuts toolbar and Hide Title

Hmm, I have just tried that method and yes it does work but I don;t like it. Mainly because I had it working as a normal pinned icon on my previous install and it went to the correct folder and I just want to get it like that again.
