ivan 1 Posted March 17, 2005 I need to change the windows explorer folder options, such that whenever the explorer is run, it will show the folder path on the title bar. I've searched to no avail at other entries in the forum and in the microsoft website to see if I could find a key that does the job. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me with this task. Thanks in advance.

Blue_Drache 260 Posted March 17, 2005 I'm entirely sure that it's do-able because it's an option you can set in the "Folder Options" section...there HAS to be a registry key that stores this information somewhere.

Murder and Office assistant definetely go together We have enough youth. How about a fountain of SMART? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivan 1 Posted March 18, 2005 Hi guys! I used Saunders' solution and closed the explorer.exe process before changing the registry. I'll post the script tomorrow as I am not in town at the moment. Thanks again. IVAN Think out of the boxGrabber: Yet another WinInfo tool_CSVLib (still alpha)Dynamic html in au3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
