Customize Windows Explorer toolbar in Vista

Does anyone know how to customize the toolbars in Vista Home Premium. You
could add and remove buttons in XP but I can't figure out how to do the same
in Vista.

You probably can't.

Everything is the Microsoft Vista Guideline way now! All user interfaces in
all applications are supposed to look identical now so...there is no room
for customization there. Sorry.

So you'll just put your head down, chew on the grass and keep saying "baa"
like all the other sheep. =)

Re: Customize Windows Explorer toolbar in Vista

OPPS, to quick on the trigger there,
The only thing I found in Windows Explorer is , organize , layout , show
the menu bar if you want and go from there.
I didn't find much customizable about windows explorer like we could in XP

Re: Customize Windows Explorer toolbar in Vista

Thanks. I thought Vista was supposed to be better. It was so much easier when
you could customize the toolbar.

Any amount of customization of the UI would violate "Microsoft Vista
Guidelines" =)
