Hi,
in Window XP, i used to be able to select full address to be displayed in the address bar. But for Window Vista, I could not find the way to do it. e.g. instead of showing D:\Document, i want to show \\sapsgsmapsnap01\document I want to send the link to my colleague to access directly to destination folder. Kindly advise. Thanks |

If you right-click in the Breadcrumb bar, you have the option to 'Copy
Address'. You then have the text of the address on the Clipboard. Will that help? -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "Tiffany" wrote in message ...

When you open a folder it's the menu bar at the top of the window under the
address bar. -- *Report back, please* "Tiffany" wrote in message ... where to locate the tools. i am using Window Vista. Can't see the tools button. Kindly help.

Hi, Tiffany.
Yes, the Address Bar is affectionately known as the "breadcrumb bar" because you can look at it and see the "trail of breadcrumbs" that lead you from the beginning of the pathname (C:\ - for example) to the currently-displayed location. So if you are looking at: C:\Users\Tiffany\Documents\LetterstoMom\March12 you could click on the "Tiffany" breadcrumb to go back to that folder without having to hit the Backspace key 3 times. And, as Keith said, right-clicking here lets you copy the entire current address, even if some of it is not visible in the Address Bar at the moment. Of course, if you are looking at C:\Computer at the time, then that's all that will be Copied and Pasted. e.g. instead of showing D:\Document, i want to show \\sapsgsmapsnap01\document Why the "\\" double back-slashes? Is that a network location? Since I know nothing about networks, all I can do is ask the question; someone else should be able to help with the answer if that is the case. RC -- R. C.

If you don't see the Toolbar in Vista, press the Alt key.
But you can also get to the View menu by clicking on Organize - Folder & Search options - View [x] Display the full path in the title bar (Classic folders only) then right-click on the Title bar (breadcrumb path) and select "Copy address as text" -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Tiffany" wrote in message ... where to locate the tools. i am using Window Vista.

So want the UNC path even on your local computer? I don't know how to
achieve that. I don't think the address bar in XP gave that either. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "Tiffany" wrote in message ... thanks for your help but where is the breadcrumb bar? click on the address bar and it does have "Copy Address", "Copy Address as Text" and "Edit Address".
