Classic Shell: Forum

Hi

I am on Windows 7, In Classic Explorer I use Toolbar Buttons but not really the menu (File Edit View Tools Help) so would it be possible to have the toolbar behave as default on Windows 7 i.e. auto hide toolbar with File Edit ... and have the classi explorer Toolbar Button on the new style bar i.e. the one that says Organize ... and was always visible before I installed Classic Shell. So I don't have two toolbars all the time?

Thanks Jens

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not allow that. Nothing can be put on the same row as the command bar (the one with the Organize button). In fact, Windows 7 and later have a horrid bug where each toolbar/menu bar is forced to be on a new row every time a new Explorer window is opened. It won't even allow 2 toolbars on one row. Classic Shell had to take special measures to tackle this bug so at least the toolbar could be on the same row as the menu bar or some other addon toolbar.
