You are probably looking for a modern version of CustomBar.
Sadly, it was not really updated for the new millennium...

I could easily code a small, independent bar that could control Winamp or any audio player that incorporates the Winamp API.  Trout, AIMP, & Foobar (with a plugin) come to mind.

Welcome to the DonationCoder site, goldencut.

ANY feedback would be nice at this point - it's too complicated, it's impossible, it's been done already, it's stupid... anything...

While I like your idea, what you're asking for is a lot more complicated than you might think.

First of all, anything you write is, technically, outside of Windows Explorer.  This mean that a developer will have to consider all the different versions of Windows Explorer (2000/XP/Vista/W7/W8 + 32/64-bit of each) along with all of their different capabilities, limitations and idiosyncrasies. Furthermore, the shell context menu has its own set of capabilities, limitations and idiosyncrasies to deal with across the different Windows versions as well.  It's a real mess.  

Let's say you decide to do this anyway.  Now you have to deal with the fact that your interface is separate from your playback engine which, in and of itself, isn't a bad thing.  However, in this case, you don't have access to the innards of the interface so you're forced to use an intermediary, i.e. a service, API calls, window messages, etc.  This can be very limiting and very frustrating to work with.  For what it's worth, I've written an audio player called Trout that some folks here at DC have come to like.  I could not imagine trying to write such a player without designing, and having full access to the user interface code, myself.

I hope this made some semblance of sense.  =]

Perhaps this will work for you?

This topic has been moved to Finished Programs.

I wanted something similar, a small toolbar to control Winamp.  Something that integrates directly into Windows Explorer or the title bar of whatever program I happen to be using...

http://web.archive.org/we.../software/WinampBar41.exe

It's old, but it still seems to work fairly well.  YMMV.

Interesting.. but you could also just do a shell exec to open a url and it will open in default browser, OR simply invokle an explicit browser exe and pass the url to it on commandline.

Sure, but then you run the risk of multiple windows/tabs (something the OP didn't want).

[Autohotkey]

No, it's not like what you think.  In fact, it's rather inelegant.  Here's a commented snippet that should explain things:

Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
myURL := "myURLsArray" . _URLnum ; Dereference the variable.
SendInput, ^l                    ; Send a Ctrl+L hotkey to focus the address bar.  Works for FF, IE, and Chrome.
SendInput, % %myURL%             ; Send the actual URL text.
Sleep, 750                       ; Small wait time to allow for long(er) URLs.
SendInput, {ENTER}               ; Send and Enter keystroke to load the page.

Make more sense now?  A hack, pretty much.  

Thanks, Skwire, for the AHK script!

You're welcome.  Is that script good enough for your purposes?  If so, I'll mark this thread as done.

Give Chris' application a run-through and see if it satisfies your initial request.   

So, basically, you want a bunch of exact duplicate files with differing filenames, whose filenames are sourced from a list that you provide?  If so, this is a piece of cake with a small AutoHotkey script.  Are you familiar with AutoHotkey at all?

How large is the block of content?

[Autohotkey]

Here's a basic AHK example that seems to work in Firefox, IE, and Chrome.  Run it, focus your browser, and use Ctrl+Right and Ctrl+Left to cycle through the list.  Of course, change the URL list to suit.

Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
myURLs =
(
http://www.donationcoder.com
http://www.filehippo.com
http://www.arstechnica.com
)
 
 
StringSplit, myURLsArray, myURLs, `n
 
 
^Right::
{
    myCounter++
    % ( myCounter > myURLsArray0 ) ? ( myCounter := 1 ) : ()
    URL_GoTo( myCounter )
}
Return
 
 
^Left::
{
    myCounter--
    % ( myCounter < 1 ) ? ( myCounter := myURLsArray0 ) : ()
    URL_GoTo( myCounter )    
}
Return
 
 
URL_GoTo( _URLnum )
{
    myURL := "myURLsArray" . _URLnum
    SendInput, ^l
    Sleep, 300
    SendInput, % %myURL%
    Sleep, 750
    SendInput, {ENTER}
}

You are not a jerk. I am just a NOOB. Either way, I somehow got it working and am extremely pleased with the results

Great to hear.  Enjoy your stay here at DonationCoder.   

Hi, darylbaz, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

At the risk of sounding like a jerk  , it means what it says; Files2Folder is unable to create the folder it needs to move your selected files into.  Is the folder UAC-protected?  Or, is it a network folder that you don't have permissions to create a folder in?  Does F2F work in other folders for you?

v1.0.7 - 2013-03-08
    + Added "Samples/Pixel" and "Bit Depth" columns (Thanks, Paul)
    + Added "Clear list" and "Always on Top" toolbar buttons.
    + Added "Copy" functionality to the Edit menu and Ctrl+C hotkey.  This
      allows you to copy the selected files to the clipboard for pasting
      elsewhere using a file manager.  (Thanks, Paul)
    * Changed "Bits" column name to "Bits/Sample."
    ! Fixed refresh issue when using a dropped folder.
    ! Resolution column data wasn't cleared properly.

The easiest solution is going to be switching those POP account to IMAP.  Even Yahoo offer IMAP access these days.

imap.mail.yahoo.com (use SSL IMAPS on port 993)
smtp.mail.yahoo.com (use SSL SMTPS on port 465)

Trying to synch up POP accounts across multiple computers is an exercise in absolute frustration (as you've found out).

    + Added options to the "Sort all" method which allows for sorting based
      on only width, only height, or both.  (Thanks, Aimee)
    + Added "Match/Does not match" option to the aspect ratio sort method.
    * Swapped the uppper/lower total pixels range option fields.

[XXClone]

XXClone should be all you need.  I have used it myself to easily clone a current Windows boot disk to another disk/SSD.

And you used it for hammering the nails in your workbench, right?

Paperweight, mostly.  =]

I think WinPatrol might be your best option as what you're requesting is not at all trivial to code.

 .  Pretty cool timing.

[WinPatrol]

WinPatrol, perhaps?

Never mind; I got it figured out.   

Hmmm...I forgot about this and, now that I check, the game doesn't appear in my Steam library list.   

Mine was a week ago on February 22nd.
