Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Windows 7 Jump Lists

Hey all
Maybe a month ago, I installed W7 on my new computer and have been enthralled with the jump list concept. There is, however, something I would really like to see if it can be done.
Right now, I open a folder on my desktop. I then right-click on the folder in the taskbar, and I can see all the other folders I've pinned to it. I then click on the folder I want to open, and Windows opens a new window for it.
Can I make it re-use the current folder?
Searched google, but I appear to have failed miserably, as most responses are talking about programming the jump-list into new applications.

"Was cursing, in broken english at his team, and at our team. made fun of dead family members and mentioned he had sex with a dog."
"Hope he dies tbh but a ban would do."
Subsequent attempts continue to open multiple windows.
The worst part is that I would really need a way to switch between the current functionality and what I'm trying to make work. One hurdle at a time, though.
Lemme see if I can get some pictures up...

Not sure if that'll work, but basically - I have one folder already open. Pics, games, apps. Something. I right click (as shown) to view the jump list, and it creates a brand new window with the opened directory.
In terms of what already exists, I'm trying to make it work like this. Where when one of those is clicked, the current window displays the requested directory.
I just realized you want it to open in the current window and not in a new one one though. So my suggestion wasn't what you wanted. Sorry.
I just like things to be uncluttered. Why is this so difficult?
It sounds like that would work pretty well. Clicking on one of the Favorites shortcuts reuses the same window, and you can add as many as you want. The only issue is if you have "Automatically expand to current folder" on in Folder Options; then you would have to scroll up to see them.
I'll look into this tonight. Thanks!
