Vista - No "Copy" or "Paste" buttons/icons

04-23-2009

I have always put the "Copy" and "Paste" buttons on my toolbar for quick
access. Now, in Vista, I can't even find a button for either function. How
do I get these buttons/icons back into my Toolbars?

Now I have to actually go to the "Edit" Menu, or use the Right-Mouse Button
Menu, to do what used to be a simple one-click operation. Drag-and-Drop has
never worked well. Sometimes it will work and other times it seems to just
drop the files wherever it wants. Then I have to go on a manual search to
recover them.

What happened to the ability to "Customize" the Toolbars? The Customizing
of Toolbars has been removed from Vista, except for a "Limited" selection,
which someone decided to leave available.

Thanks

MS knows best. Now stop your complaining and use the incredibly
improved Vista interface. (not!)

I use to watch MS knows best in the 60's. It was on right after Father
Knows Best.

Sorry- no help here.
I just got so used to the instant response of using the keyboard, that I
hadn't even noticed the buttons were gone.

Ctrl C to copy the already selected text - that's a hard one to remember.
Ctrl V to paste - next to it on the right.
Ctrl X to cut

no messing with menus, arranging buttons, and it even works with the menus
completely off.

Those "Short Cuts" have worked for a long time.

However, with all of the editing I accomplish, the ability to just do one
mouse click to perform those actions saved me many-many keystrokes and hours.

Hello Ande,

This may be able to help make this easier for you. It will add "Copy to Folder" and "Move to Folder" to the context menu.

Context Menu - Add COPY TO FOLDER and MOVE TO FOLDER

Hope this helps,
Shawn
