Adding buttons to the Explorer Toolbar

In XP, I can add buttons to the explorer toolbar by rm-clicking on the bar
then selecting customize and choosing the new buttons.

How can I do this in Vista?

Thanks for the response...

That's really too bad. Frankly, I thought this was one of the best features
of XP; allowing me to create a toolbar nearly meeting my exact needs. This
features helps reduce common tasks/clicks and helps me get the job done
faster. This Vista limitation alone might push me back to XP!! I was
hoping that Vista would allow greater GUI customization so that I can reduce
my mouse travel.

There's no doubt that Vista GUIs *looks* Great! But, i'm interested in
performance and getting one-click access to my most common tasks. I've
already turned off the fancy stuff to maximize performance, consequently my
machines looks more like XP. I don't need flipping and fading windows on my
office machine--I want my answers and I want them now!

I'm also upset that my XP menu-keystrokes don't translate to Vista or
MSO2007 keys. Word, one might say, supports 2003 menu key sequences, but
this ain't so. In 2003, if I needed to undo something, ALT-E then Enter
works, 2008 requires ALT-E then U. Excel 2007 is a big improvement over
2003. But the OS and Word seem to have lost their advantage.

Thanks again.

Just as the PC OS was evolving to primate status, a committee drove it back
to brontosaurs.

IMPOSSIBLE in vista....

You are one of thousands if not millions that complain about this stupid
restriction.

Translation: capin' crunch got 3 calls about this at the help desk where
he works.
Two of them were from the same person.
 
John Draper would know better. And Greenblatt would never work a help
desk. Stallman would revese engineer and rewrite the GUI. I work at the
TMRC and long for the days when I could assy code on a PDP-8/L that acheived
digital perfection. (lac dap dippy dap lio dio JMP)
