Is it possible to change the location of the 3 Windows Explorer buttons: close minimize and maximize from left to right?

Talking about these buttons: (In this photo they are at the right position, where I want them to be, but at my computer they changed to the left)

Hi mibaup,

How did they end up on the left in the first place?
By default [in the registry I think] they are on the right. Did you use some third party program initially to move them?

I hope this helps!

I couldn't find any third party, I was told it happened after an installation of a printer driver
Where can I find the registry location for that?

**Edit: They are at the left position only for Windows Explorer windows, but for apps such as browsers, MS Office, it's still on the right

I don't know how Microsoft coded/built-in these miracle fixes but many is the times I have had some very weird issues that went away after a restart.

Way to go MS!!! :thumbsup:
