| | Can't I customize the Explorer toolbar? The toolbar of Windows Explorer and file open/save dialog, was customizable (at least choose what to display) on Windows XP, but not on Windows Vista. Well, I don't want much but I hope there's a delete icon because I delete files often. That was possible on Windows XP, but it looks like I have no control over what is being displayed on Windows Vista. Can't I display "delete" or "property" icon instead of those stupid "play all" and "burn" icons? |
