Explorer toolbar

In previous incarnations of Windows it was very handy to be able to
customise the tool bar of Windows Explorer so I could add a 'copy to', 'move
to' and 'delete' button.

I must be cracking up because I can't figure out how I can do this with
Vista Premium, can anyone enlighten me please?

Re: Explorer toolbar

Thats just the default behaviour unfortunately, it cannot be edited.

If you would like to create your own, you might want to take a look at the

You cannot customize Vista's Explorer toolbar.
Under Organize>Layout you can add the "Menu" bar,
but that's it.

Re: Explorer toolbar

You can add "Copy To Folder" and "Move To Folder" to the right-click Windows
Explorer context menu.

Ron,

I don't like it, either.

But, there are other options. In fact, better options than using
Windows Explorer. You can customize these Explorer replacements
and they are just better. These options are not free, but are really
worth the investment. They copy/move/delete stuff faster, too.
Many more useful options. Just better!

I use Directory Opus 9.1 and absolutely love it.
The other two are great Explorer replacements, too.

Well, I guess that's a compromise....like everything Micro$oft, these days
