Customizing Windows Explorer toolbars
Just installed Vista. Not terribly wild about it so far. Willing to give it a
chance, though. On Windows Explorer, what has happened to the ability to customize the toolbars? I used to be able to add cut/copy/paste/delete icons to the toolbar. Saved time, added convenience. Doesn't appear to be there anymore. Am I missing something? Is there some whole new concept of how I should be working with files that works around Windows Explorer entirely? |

Customizing Windows Explorer toolbars
I agree completely. We should be able to customize the Windows Explorer
toolbar. Personally, I want the "Parent Folder" button back. Don't tell me about [Alt-Up] or the breadcrumbs, I want a button in a consistent location that will always take me to the parent folder of where I am. Where can we go to get our complaints in front of the developers??? "Michael" wrote: Just installed Vista. Not terribly wild about it so far. Willing to give it a chance, though.

This has been bothering me as well. They seem to have taken a giant step
backwards with Explorer in several aspects. I also notice that it does not properly remember window settings and sizes, even though the "remember" box is checked off. I finally got it to remember the size by uncheck and then rechecking the "remember" box in the folder settings. Still, other things are randomly forgotten. "Michael" wrote in message ...

Customizing Windows Explorer toolbars
What really annoys me is tha they took away all the buttons I used all the
time in XP and gave me a "Burn" button. It burns my ass every time I look at it. What bright light thought that people burned to disk so much, that it rated its own button. Am I out of the loop. It looks like they wanted an interface for 13 year olds burning MP3s to disk. Also right on regarding the "Up" button I used it all the time. "Michael" wrote: Just installed Vista.

Customizing Windows Explorer toolbars
Here's the point some people are missing. We don't want to use the ALT key with whatever other key. What was on the toolbar in XP worked just fine. As someone said, why can't the designers leave well enough alone. I agree with the comment about the burn button. Whose "bright idea" was that one? I just hope their gene pool dries up before any more damage is done. -- boutaswell |
