Love Vista. I really do. A few things still bother me though.
How can I add cut/copy/paste on the top of each window? How can I add the damn control panel to My Computer (aka Computer).

Thank you.

Control panel is already on the top blue bar in 'Computer', labelled 'Open Control Panel'.
Otherwise they are already under 'Organize' on the top blue bar of every window.

[cut => ctrl+x
copy => ctrl+c
paste => ctrl+v]

I know that Sensi. I didn't ask for a workaround, I want a solution.

lol, well sorry but what you want isn't really precise, if you could take a screenshot from xp and elaborate a little more that would clarify the thing. Smile

The red frame shows the "features" vista is missing. The ability to add cut/copy/paste buttons on top and the ability to add the control panel icon inside my computer.

About CPL, I don't know, but if you haven't noticed, the Explorer interface in Vista is completely overhauled. You won't find those Copy-Cut-Paste buttons, allong with all the others. Rolling Eyes I mean, have you just now noticed that all those toolbars are gone from Vista's Explorer and IE7?

For the toolbar i dunno, for another link in 'computer' toward the control panel:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1d6c6c6d-680e-4f50-a7a9-78a0a94c2c86}]
@="Control Panel"

"SearchHelper"="Control Panel"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1d6c6c6d-680e-4f50-a7a9-78a0a94c2c86}\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\SHELL32.DLL,21"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1d6c6c6d-680e-4f50-a7a9-78a0a94c2c86}\Shell]

"WantsFORPARSING"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{1d6c6c6d-680e-4f50-a7a9-78a0a94c2c86}]
@=hex(2):40,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,\
  6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,\

  2c,00,2d,00,34,00,31,00,36,00,31,00,00,00
It will looks like this:

(cut and paste the code in a ANSI encoded text file, add the .reg extension, double click, reboot)

The toolbars I can live without, the control panel in my computer I cannot.

Thank you both, especially you Sensi for the control panel trick.

P.S.

Sensi, I found another solution for the missing Internet Explorer icon on the desktop.

Code:
Open Registry Editor.

In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel

Create the following key (DWORD 32-bit):

{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}

(just copy/paste, including the brackets)

Close Registry Editor.


Can you make this into a .reg code so it can be applied easily ?
