Adding a toolbar to the windows taskbar

Does anyone know how to script a new toolbar (a folder shortcut) into the
desktop taskbar?

i.e. equivalent to right click on taskbar -> toolbars -> New Toolbar

I suspect it can be found in (new-object -com shell.application) but I don't
know where just yet...

Re: Adding a toolbar to the windows taskbar

Any other ideas on this subject please.

(I read somewhere else that the taskbar is actually a windows form and has a
handle that be gained from "Shell_TrayWnd". Does that provide a means to add
a taskbar?)
