Windows Explorer? No. Internet Explorer 8? Yes. But that is a browser toolbar, not an XP or Win7 toolbar. Hence, our confusion.

Not possible to customise tool bar in Windows Explorer in Vista and Windows 7 You can use the "Organise" button to get:- Cut Copy Paste Delete and others You can also download a free utility from:- http://webtrickz.com/get-classic-st...oolbar-in-windows-7-vista-with-classic-shell/ which will give a "Classic Stsrt Menu" and/or a "Classic Explorer Toolbar". The tool bar part will put:- Up one level Cut Copy Paste Delete Properties buttons into the Windows Explorer tool bar. -- ---------------- Stubbo of Oz ----------------
Thanks for that info the customisation worked well. However I have a revolt from my two girls who it seems prefer the new way (lol) that is the win7 default.
