Re: Actual Folder Name not Displayed in Taskbar

Hi, Movie Monger.

I don't think there is a way to display only the end of the long path. But
when I hover my mouse over the Taskbar tab (using Vista Ultimate with the
Aero interface), it first pops up a small thumbnail of that Explorer page,
then the full pathname just above that thumbnail. Does that work for you?
