I am using an excellent docklet written by Citizen SIHY called Folder Selector. By right clicking on the docklet you get a programmable list of folders in windows explorer, or start an actual file, such as an .xls file.
It would be even better with two additions - IMHO
1) Ability to create a short name for a folder or file, instead of showing the whole address
2) It always starts Explorer in the non folder view - would like to see same but with folder view
I am not a programmer and I don't know how to get hold of SIHY. If anyone has any ideas - this would be an even more useful docklet
Thanks,
