I incidentally read the post http://www.rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1375 a few days ago. I am not sure I fully understand what they are talking about, but it sounds kind of fun to have a tiny file manager inside Rainmeter. After some coding I have a plugin/skin to list the files in the folder: http://www.mirimo.org/FileListPlugin-win32_2009-09-25.zipClick a folder will go into it, and click a file will run it.  I am stuck in multi-select and scrolling so the plugin has very little practical usage now. However I think I could use it as a dock alternative once the icon is functional.

Nice work elestel! Could I use this to display just the file count or the size?

"but still find no good way to scroll..." Did you mean that you don't know how to code it, or do you mean you don't know a method to scroll, but know how to code it? I would suggest that you add a little (maybe customizable) scrollbar left of the file-list to scroll through the files

If a scrollbar is not possible maybe you could add a setting to display X number of items, then use bangs to display next or previous X number of items.
Another suggestion I have is filtering by filetype, so if you only wanted to show say mp3s and not albumart.
