while maintaining the little two arrows/the toolbar itself?

As always, thanks for reading!

Yes...,
Unlock the Taskbar, hover your cursor on the double vertical lines and right click, uncheck Show title...

I'll demonstrate a 'workaround' when I get home from work.

First of all, if you're using the standard/included Desktop Toolbar, this trick won't work for that folder. However, you can recreate that folder or use pretty much an folder you wish.

So..., to work around that glitch, you'll need to create a blank/invisible and nameless shortcut or folder, (you can find blank icons (.ico) on the internet and name it blank (Alt+255) and it will remain at the top of the folder hierarchy...

My Phonebook Toolbar, for example:

Then, re-create the Toolbar, uncheck Show title and Show text, lock the Taskbar.
You will see the invisible entry on mouse over only...

aside from that, it will look and perform normally...
