    Just thought of something and tried it. It's still not very useful but I can make my toolbar button open to the current folder but you still have to have a folder selected for it to work, so if your in a folder without any subfolders or don't select one first then it won't work.

    To do this edit the reg file and change @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\"" to @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\" && cd.."

    To add both commands ask if needed.

    When you say WHOOSH, does this mean it's too complicated or just not what your after?

    I do know it's not exactly what you wanted sorry, I was really hoping I could get it working but what you want I don't think can be done with a simple reg hack (maybe an advanced one) and I couldn't find any software to do it, but I think it will require someone to program a shell extension or something like that.

    If your using shift + right click then I think Option 4 would be a good idea, at least it would save pressing shift and the icon will make it stand out more.

    correct - whoosh, over my head.

    No, no need to apologize. In fact your efforts are much appreciated and deserve applause. I am somewhat disappointed that no one here has chimed in to give you props for what I see as better-than-college-try.

    I just r-clik and it's there, no shift required. It will suffice.

    thnx Duzzy!

    Is there a preferred Option? I can assist with more detail and step by step instructions.

    Out of curiosity did you use my instructions to do this and did you include a icon?

    My preference is for a simple 'for dummies' solution. Basically, an 'install-finished', 'run-and-done', minimal-clik/typing option.

    No, the r-clik w/o shift option works for me when I am in a folder window with a hard path displayed in the location bar. I used post #2 to implement. Also, if I type 'cmd' in that location bar, the cmd. prompt opens at said location. Surprise! However, I do have to use the shift-key if in that folder via 'Libraries' navigation. -thnx.

    Update : I found this. Totally idiot-friendly: clik the link, run, install, done! No shift required, will work with Libraries path and includes the elevated option. Now, if only I could get this on the toolbar (sigh).

    Looks ok. I hope you find something to add it the toolbar.

    Final Update : I have come to believe that this issue would have been resolved long before I posted this request. I have therefore decided to simply delete the windows explorer bar altogether. Thnx to all!

    peace
