  Re: ~ A Tip A Day ~
01 March 2008: Shrink the Address Bar I have a small screen, and the address bar and the Standard Buttons toolbar take up too much space. I got rid of the toolbar, but I'd like to keep the address bar. Is there a way to make it smaller? With screen real estate at a premium (even on large displays), anything you can do to minimize clutter is helpful. The trick is to stuff the address bar into that unused space to the right of Explorer's main menu (File, Edit, View, etc.), as shown in Figure. Note: If you don't see the address bar in Windows Explorer, go to View --> Toolbars --> Address Bar . Right-click any part of the menu or the gray part of the address bar, and if there's a checkmark next to "Lock the Toolbars," click it to turn it off. Then grab the word "Address" with your mouse and drag the bar to the right side of the menu. Since some folders (such as Network Connections in the Control Panel) have extra menus, make sure to leave a little space to the right of the Help menu to accommodate them. When you're done, right-click the bar and select "Lock the Toolbars" to turn the lock back on. |
