Turn a Folder into a Toolbar

This is a little tip I got from WinXPnews.

They claim that everyone knows this tip, but I happen to be one that didn’t.

1. Make a folder on the desktop. Call it anything you like, for
   example, Folder Toolbar.
   
2. Bring the mouse pointer over the folder and hold the left mouse
   button down. Drag the folder to the edge of the screen. Eureka - the
   folder turns into a toolbar!
   
3. Notice that the folder stays on your desktop. Anything that you drag
   to the toolbar appears in the folder and anything you drag to the folder
   appears on the toolbar.
   
4. If you want to make the toolbar go away, just right click the
   toolbar and click the Close toolbar command.

UPDATE: I neglected to mention how this knowledge could be of benefit. The need for the tip may not be apparent to most, but for me it is a little gem that may serve me well. The advantage of toolbars is that you can gain quick access to applications that you frequently use. Prior to this new knowledge (to me that is) I over used my ‘Quick Launch’ toolbar; it was overfilled with apps and my desktop is half covered with applications that I use on a regular basis. I can now group my apps, of common usefulness, in folders. So when I want to do some video editing, I can set the folder as a toolbar and get to work. If I want to add some post to my blog I can open that folder and get to work. When using many apps it is good to be organized and this little tip is great for organization.
