Solved Move the address bar below the menu bar in Windows Explorer

[Anixx]

Also, the window border thing seems to have a few issues too. Whenever I navigate to a new folder, the border seems to disappear, and some folders don't have it at all when I open them. But great work!

Needs resize after setting the attribute. Try something like ShellFolderFix who automatically resizes all Explorer windows (and remembers their positions). I use it anyway. Alternatively I can add a command to resize by 1 px after each attribute change.

Ok, works for new windows that don't have it, but it doesn't seem to work when I navigate to a new folder.

Works for me nearly always, even without ShellFolderFix. I use the option @open each folder in a new window" and without a tree. Maybe because of that.

New folders (not resized by ShellFolderFix:

Address Bar remover (not usable):

 

[Butters]

Yeah, I open folders in the same window, so I bet that's it.

 

[Anixx]

Try to reboot. After reboot I even cannot reproduce this problem no matter how I try. Maybe the contents of some windows is cached.

 

[Butters]

Hmm, maybe. This was a problem I had with Zero Dump as well, so that could be it. I'll post back when I find out.

 

[Butters]

Hey Anixx, is there any chance you could post up the source of those AutoHotKey scripts?

Thanks.

Regarding the border issue, rebooting didn't seem to work. You say you're not getting the problem at all then? And you are opening folders in the same window? I wonder why it's not working for me. Like I said, whenever I open a new folder in the same window, the border just disappears.

I open the folders in different windows. That's why it works for me and covers my needs.

 

[Butters]

Ah ok, right. Do you think there's any way to fix it?

One thing I've also noticed, if you use the address bar hider and you resize the window, and then open a new folder in the same window, the address bar will hide again. I've noticed the address bar quickly popping up when switching between windows, so I wonder if that might have anything to do with it becoming (partially) visible when resizing windows.

This script should work in your case:

#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv
Gui +LastFound
hWnd := WinExist()
SetBatchLines -1
SetControlDelay, -1

DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
Return
 
ShellMessage(wParam,lParam) {
   If (wParam = 1 or wParam = 6) ;  HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED := 1
   {
WinGetClass, WinClass, ahk_id %lParam%

if (WinClass = "CabinetWClass") {
Sleep, 100
Control, ExStyle, ^0x200, FolderView, ahk_id %lParam%

WinSet, Redraw,, ahk_id %lParam%
WinGetPos, , , , h, ahk_id %lParam%
WinMove, ahk_id %lParam%,,,,,h-1
WinMove, ahk_id %lParam%,,,,,h
   }
   }
}

 

[Butters]

Hey, that works! Thanks.

Explorer looks so much better now!

 

[Butters]

Try this:
1.) Have the address bar remover enabled
2.) Resize the window so the address bar re-appears
3.) Right-click on the title bar

 

[Anixx]

It will disappear, I think. Any shell event makes it disappear again.

 

[Butters]

Yes, that is the same result I got.

Also, I would love to help you out with this. Do you think you can send me a link to an AutoHotKey scripting tutorial/help site? I'll try to learn this stuff, and then I'll do what I can to help you out with this.

Sorry, I mostly used the help file coming with AHK. Actually one can do the same using other programming languages, say, Visual Basic.

 

[Butters]

Oh ok. I'll take a look at those help files then.

The method can be used to fix the appearace of Internet Explorer as well.

I have not include and polish the featere because I do not use IE as of now (my layout switcher makes IE crash).
