first, I'll show these screenies... then I've got a question on how to do this the "right" way instead of this "round-a-bout" way. I just stumbled across this after months of wondering how to do it. In XP I managed to get the same effect by sharing a folder on the network, going to My Network Places, and copying the network shared folder to the desktop. The idea here is to have a folder on the desktop without it actually being there [for the purpose of having it on toolbars, such as the Desktop toolbar on my taskbar, to where it can pop-out/snap-back]. I don't know if this is making any sense.... oh well, you'll understand after the screenies.

So, I hope that shows you what I'm able to do in this way--quite an interesting discovery, I think--but I don't know how else to do it besides this long tedious process.
Anyone ever made these "Folders" or "Folder Shortcuts" [in win2k] which have targets located elsewhere than where they are also visible?
It would have been so much better to have an animation instead of the screenies, but hopefully after looking for a while, you'll get it. ;)
