Customize Your Folder Toolbars

By default, when you open My Computer, My Documents, or any Windows folder, you are presented a toolbar along the top with navigation commands: Back, Forward, Up One Level, etc. Did you know you can customize this toolbar to add commands for Copy, Paste, Cut, Undo, etc.?

It is easy to do, here is how:

1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on an empty spot in the toolbar at the top
3. Select Customize
4. Move items you want to add from the left side to the right and arrange them in the order you like
5. Close the dialog box

Now whenever you are browsing folders you will have easy access to the commands you use most.
