while it's possible to double click any folder within a menu, if i want to open the virtual menu's "button" itself i need to right click and click on explore.

it would be great to just double click the button/virtual menu on my taskbar to load it up in explorer. in a way it would function both as a virtual menu and a shortcut.

it'd also be nice to be able to right click drag and drop directly onto the virtual menus. (to move files instead of just copying). if i do it now the menu options are 'add to related' and 'open with', not 'move here' & 'copy here' like i would expect.

i really hope you will find a way to disable/overide vista's win+1 (or win+2, etc) hotkeys. it's a really convenient hotkey assignment and the only reason i still have some original quick launch icons. i would love to convert to truelaunchbar exclusively.

This is possible right now but only if VF inside submenu. I'll try to make the same for buttons on the toolbar.

Ok, thank you for suggestion.

I know one way:
Run gpedit.msc then open:
User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Explorer
and set the option "Turn off Windows+X hotkeys" into "Enabled"
You need to restart computer (or just explorer.exe)

But this option disable ALL Win+X combinations including Win+R, Win+M etc.

Suggestion 1:

I also would like to be able to double-click a Menu (Virtual Folder) on the Toolbar to open it. Right now, if I double-click a Menu Folder on the Toolbar, it simply opens and then closes the menu, i.e. A double click acts like two single clicks. Hopefully this can also work if I put "My Computer" Virtual Folder directly on the toolbar. I would probably use this feature a lot.

Suggestion 2:

The "move here" and "copy here" for virtual menus is also a good suggestion and could be added to the right-click drag and drop.

Number 3:
This is a fantastic program!! Thank you for making it.

I'd like to add to the requests for being able to double-click on a virtual folder to open it from a toolbar (as mentioned in my 2006 post http://forum.tsoftcentral.com/viewtopic....ght=#12301).

And if we need that, we also need the global filter to work from a Toolbar (see http://forum.tsoftcentral.com/viewtopic....ght=#14825).

Meanwhile though, just to get this in perspective, I totally agree with Cogo's point No. 3. TLB is a great product! I use it many times a day and would be lost without it. Big Grin
