Windows 7 question - navigation pane

I reformatted onto a SSD, and I am having a hell of a time finding the option to have your quick launch icons become click able after you already open up a specific shortcut.

scenario :

I open up firefox, it brings it to where the icon is on the quicklaunch bar.

It used to be re-clickable, so I could open it up again, is that possible to do again? I can't seem to find that option.

Are you talking about opening up a new window in addition to the one that's already running? If so you can either middle click the taskbar icon or shift + left click it.

It used to leave an icon for me, so I wouldn't have to key combo.

 

[MrTransistorm]

I'm sorry. I thought you meant opening multiple windows.

Are you trying to pin the icon to the taskbar? Right click on the icon and select "Pin this program to taskbar."

nono, that's not it either...it's a little hard to explain.

no worries, I created an XP style quicklaunch bar instead.

I understand what you're asking. Right click the button again, and click the program icon. It's one extra click and annoying, but now that browsers are tabbed it's not so bad.

Open it again by right clicking it and select it and it will open a new window of whatever application.

click and drag up then open new window? Middle click is best, or keyboard shortcut ctrl n
