  • 1. Is there some way to disable "my pictures" ?
    Prefreably i'd get rid of the whole stupid "my documents" idea, however, does anyone know if its possible to get the "my pictures" folder to stop behaving like a picture folder, ie, with the preview stuff etc - and just behave like a regular folder? Or even better, get XP to stop using it and just remember the last folder i used. (I am aware that you can designate another folder as a 'my pictures' folder)
  • 2. Picture
    When you right click on 'My COmputer' and it lists system information and stuff, how do you get it to place another picture there. I have seen computer stores put their logo there and I would like to know how to do it. Thanks.
  • 3. Windows 3.x shell in XP
    I was wondering if it was possible to get the Windows 3.x GUI/shell in Windows XP? Maybe if anybody knows any 3rd party software out there that was specially designed to perform this task? Thanks :-)

  • 5. Folder View Settings Don't Stick
    I have a desktop folder with shortcuts to applications. I set the view options to Tiles and eventually the view changes itself to Icons. I have the folder properties set to remember the settings. I want to keep the Tiles view without it setting itself back to Icons. Is there a solution?

Hiding the Windows Explorer AddressBar

Postby Bob Swipes » Thu, 04 Mar 2004 20:59:30 GMT

I just 'inherited' a group of computers for which I need 
to disable the AddressBar in Windows Explorer. All the 
users have personalized settings & are power users. 
The 'boss' wants to disable/hide the address bar in 
Windows Explorer on all the computers for all the users. I 
am able to hide the Internet Explorer (not what I need, 
really) addressbar by setting 
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet 
Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions\NoAddressBar to 1. I can 
also prevent the users from changing their toolbar 
settings by setting 
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Exp
lorer\NoBandCustomize to 1. This keeps them from changing 
toolbars settings but it doesn't remove the address bar. 
Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1.Proposals in the run menu and explorer's addressbar

Hi!

When you opened the run... Dialog in Win XP and started typing 'c:\w' 
Windows automatically proposed you all folders and files under 'c:\' starting 
with 'w'. The same was possible in explorer's address bar. This option seems 
to be gone in Win Vista. Is there a way to get this back? This was a really 
efficient way to find and open or run files or folders. I really miss this 
feature.

Please advice.

Thanks

Just wondering if anyone knows of a utility that will add a toggle button to 
the Windows Explorer that will Show and Hide hidden files?

I tried Google, but only got about a billion pages explaining how to do it 
through the Tools menu.
