ivan Posted March 17, 2005 Share 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 Posted March 17, 2005 Share 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.

ivan Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks a lot. I'll try it in my script now, but by the looks of it, it's what I'm looking for.

ivan Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share 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.
