How do I expand my folder shortcuts on the desktop?

I have windows 2000 and I just bought a new drive and split it up on a lot of directories, but some of these directories have subdirectories htat I want to get access too easily. I have my desktop as a toolbar at the bottom of my computer btw.



so how do I make it so the arrows show up next to those folders and let me navigate through them straight from the desktop.

I'm not sure how to word it so if you have any questions feel free.

indigo0086 isn't asking how to remove the desktop shortcut from the toolbar, he/she wants to know how to access the subdirectories within the shortcuts by making the subdirectories pop up in menus like when your cursor pauses over "My Documents", "My Computer", etc...

indigo0086: Sorry, I don't know how to do what you're asking. It might be a Registry tweak. I don't have TweakUI installed on this Win2000 computer I'm using so I don't know if that would give you the ability to do what you're asking.

the thing is it only works with folders put directly on the desktop, which wouldn't fly because it would be on my system hard drive rather than the storage hard drive I keep all my stuff in.
