The new toolbar in Windows 11
FOUND IT!
Simply install System Tray Menu App from Microsoft Store for FREE!

Enjoy!!!
Great find! A very workable compromise solution. My only ideal addition would be to be able to add more than one folder to be a complete Desktop menu solution since desktop icons appear in both User and Public locations.
The "new toolbar" is better than nothing, but just barely. It is NOT a replacement for the old toolbar. The links are not hot. You have to right click and select open to launch the target.
bskogquist HI
thank you, but I will not take advantage of this DLL code proposal. -> I would prefer to reinstall Windows10 and work until October 2025, I will add that clearly Windows10 is updated and works well!
If you're referring to the System Tray Menu app mentioned above there's an option under setting to run on a single click...works the same as the old desktop tray menu.
- I want to make sure were are talking about the same thing
I have a folder of executables that I want to create a task bar sub-toolbar for.
To achieve this in Windows 10, I:
1. Right-click on the task bar
2. select "Toolbars" => "New Toolbar..." from the menu
3. Browse to and select the folder containing my executables.
From that point on a symbol >> appears on my task bar just to the left of the tray; and when I click on it I get a pop up sub-toolbar listing all the executables as menu options. A single click launches the selected executable.
I do not see a way to create the equivalent sub-toolbar in Windows 11.
If I am missing something please could you provide step by step instructions for achieving the same, or a link to such instructions.
thanks!
