64 bit Standalone Stack or alternative?
nite_monkey:
I don't know when they added the feature, because I haven't used standalone stack in a long time, but I love how when you click on a folder inside of it, it shows the contents of the folder along with a go back button. It used to just open the folder in explorer. The problem is that Standalone Stack can't open 64 bit programs (even if you tell it to run a shortcut to a 64 bit program). Does anyone know of a 64 bit program (or a 32 bit program that by some voodoo magic supports 64 bit programs) that pins to the windows 7 taskbar, will display the contents of a folder, and display the contents of sub-folders (rather than just open the folder in explorer)

Is this the StandaloneStack you mean?

Also here is a manual way to pin a folder.
If this is what you want.

Yes, that is the standalonestack I was talking about. Your link to pinning folders to the taskbar is nothing like what I was wanting. I want a program that will display the contents of a folder in a little popup above the pinned program icon on the taskbar, and if you click on a folder inside of this popup, instead of it just opening the folder in the explorer, it would show the contents in the popup with a button to go back to the previous folder. Standalonestack does this exactly like I am wanting, but it is only a 32 bit program, so I can't have it run 64 bit programs.

I did find a program called MiniWE that is 64 bit, but it constantly runs, so it shows up in the alt-tab menu. If I can't find anything else that is better, I guess I will just have to stick with miniwe.

Okay, I get it, I think :)
Would a new toolbar on the taskbar work?
This is my dropbox folder for an example.
Just because I'm sure you know what it is, and not something else.
