Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

The Toolbar in Windows Explorer now only has Organize, Views, and Burn
showing. How do I get the other options back?

Thanks, CB

Hi CB,

If you mean the Menu toolbar with File, Edit, View, Favorites (In IE7), Tools, and Help, then this tutorial will show you how to.

Menu Bar

No - I mean the Toolbar that is below that. I want to Add a New Contact to
my Contacts. The toolbar line only shows Organize, Views, and Burn. Isn't it
also supposed to show Add a New Contact?

CB,

This happens when the folder template gets changed by accident. You can fix this by right clicking on a empty area in the right pane of the Contacts folder window and click "Customize This Folder", then change the folder template to "Contacts". You can see how to do this here if needed.

Yes that worked. Don't know how that happened.

I looked at the website you posted and it looks like a great forum. I'm
running Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. Is there a separate forum for 32-bit or
should I join that one?

Many thanks, CB

What you see at http://www.vistax64.com forums is the same thing you see
when accessing MS newsgroups using the Windows Mail newsreader which is much
better than using a web interface.

See these links.

Re: Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

Quite the contrary IMHO. There is a lot to offer at the forums. Many tutorials on all kinds of things. When I first got Vista, I got all kinds of things messed up. I dove in as if it was just like W2K, which was my last OS. I was about to downgrade to XP when I found this place (Thanks to Brink-Thank you Brink). I also like that the forums are MODERATED.

Your welcome CB,

It is for both the 32 bit and 64 bit Vista versions.

Vista's folder views and template settings are a just a little quirky, so it can easily happen without any help from you.

Hope to see you there,
Shawn

Re: Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

And note that most of those tutorials are posted by someone in the Newsgroup, which can you can check out at Google Groups archive as well.

It's just a compilation, not invention!

Re: Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

It's a vBulletin forum which syncs to Microsoft Newsgroups, Bredt. That means whatever you post in those Usenet Gateways will appear in the Microsoft Newsgroup. There are *plenty* of such gateways on the Web which mirror the Microsft Newsgroup posts. Some have their own forums also.

To subscribe to the Microsoft Newsgroups, you may use a Newsreader. Check out the links posted by Bob.
