For some reason, my Vista Taskbar buttons for Windows Explorer windows are displaying the *full address* of open folders. Thus, all I see is "C:\Users\My Name\Docume..." No more than that. Every button looks like this, so I keep clicking around every window before I get to the right one! How do I change it to display only the folder name? |

Hi, Movie Monger. I don't think there is a way to display only the end of the long path. But when I hover my mouse over the Taskbar tab (using Vista Ultimate with the Aero interface), it first pops up a small thumbnail of that Explorer page, then the full pathname just above that thumbnail. Does that work for you? RC -- R. C.

Organize -> Folder & Search Options -> 'View' tab -> clear the checkbox labeled "Display the full path in the title bar (Classic Folders Only) Despite that parenthetical statement, this setting also seems to affect the name displayed on the Taskbar buttons. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "Movie Monger" <Movie Monger@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D6A0FF50-EC8C-404B-A896-3C96C82BAD5F@microsoft.com... > For some reason, my Vista Taskbar buttons for Windows Explorer windows are > displaying the *full address* of open folders.
