Sebaz Vista Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 In XP I always used to add the delete file or folder icon to the toolbar. The new toolbar in Vista, while a lot prettier, doesn't allow this or any other customization. Has anybody come up with a hack for this?

Quillz Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I don't think it can be added, but isn't it arguably just as simple to right-click delete or drag to the Recycle Bin?

Doli Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Recycle Bin? You can move it to your Favorite links and drag and drop files there but why waste the time just press the delete key or Shift+delete to delete the files without it going to the recycle bin Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/631010-i-want-a-delete-button/#findComment-589328942 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted April 11, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 11, 2008 If you click on the organize button a dropdown menu will appear that has a red X for delete.

Sebaz Vista Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Sure, I can use the delete button, choose delete from the Organize menu, or other methods. But I just liked the simplicity of the delete button on the toolbar, that's all.

Well, Microsoft disagrees with you, and I guess they expect you to use the "Organize" drop-down. random_n said: I just want a "New Folder" button. :( Same here. You're expected to use the drop-down. Would be nice if you could customize the toolbar a bit more in Vista, but, oh well.

Probably even easier than clicking a new folder button on the toolbar, dont have to move your mouse as far.

Marcel T Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Funny, I would've thought QTTabBar + FileTools plugin pack would have been posted in this thread already, it's what you use to tweak up Explorer in XP or Vista if you don't wan't to go as far as a new shell. Making an interface more efficient for your own workflow seems to be lost on some people.

When you're using details view, and with full line highlighting being mandatory in Vista, it really can be aggravating at times. :( That said, I have no idea how I missed the contents under the organize button (had been using Alt->File->New->New Folder all this time).
