How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP?

How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP? When I right click on the menu bar the "Customize..." option is there but it does absolutely nothing.
Which brings me to the rhetorical question as to why it was necessary to shuffle everything around, was it broken? Did it not work? Since 2006 I've moved my mouse pointer almost instinctively to the left side of the screen, now all of a sudden I have to go right, is there a point?
This is like supermarkets that as soon as you have figured out where everything is, they shuffle everything around and now you are stuck in mystery shopping. At least they have economic reasons. Meanwhile Firefox seems disposed to make itself look more like Chrome, but hey if I wanted Chrome I'd get it.

Nope... Thanks, but Safe Mode does not do the trick. Oh sure you can move the buttons around and rearrange things to your liking, unfortunately it does not stay that way once you get out of Safe Mode.
I guess if you use an XP machine you are doomed to use FF's interpretation of what it should look like, which is ass backwards from what it has been for the past FIVE YEARS!!! Why not? It seems XP users are now the Freddo's of computing.
Someone should go to you developer's homes move everything around, forks in the basement, beds in the bathroom, TV up in the attic with the mice, dining table outside on the porch, see how you like it.

  • How can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser

    In CVI 2012, the toolbar changes depending on the environment, e.g. it is different for the source window and the UI editor. The toolbar can be customized using the menu Options / Toolbar...
    Unfortunately, when using the attribute browser of the UI editor, another toolbar is displayed, i.e. not the UI editor toolbar.... I would have assumed that the attribute browser belongs to the UI editor, obviously it doesn't... So how can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser?
    Solved!

    Luis,
    It's nice to have you back 
    Thank you for the clarification, so I'll elaborate a bit more: In the regular workspace toolbar, I have a disk symbol to save the file. This symbol is gone in the attribute browser...
    So I have three different toolbars, for source code (workspace), UI editor, and the UI editor displayed but the attribute browser clicked on (selected)... 
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

  • How do I customize the toolbar in my address book in Leopard? Is it gone?

    My old Ibook with tiger crashed and I upgraded to a macbook pro with leopard. It appears that I can't customize the toolbar on the address book? I used to have actions (send email, configure, etc) on the address book in my old tiger system.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Skip

    Hi Skip
    Yes, Apple removed the "Actions" icon from Address Book in Leopard. You have to use the "Send email" option that appears when you click on "Work" or "Home" next to the email address on a contact page. Similarly "iChat". I'm not sure about "Configure", but you can use the Edit button at the botttom of the window to change a contact's details.

  • How do you make the strip silence window larger!!

    How can I adjust the strip silence window to make the wave files larger so I can see my adjustments better.... Right now they're so small I can't tell what I'm doing..
    Thanks
    RD

    unfortunately you can't! I wish Strip Silence window had zoom controls too.
    Workaround 1:
    - cut up region into smaller regions and strip silence them individually.
    Workaround 2:
    - Use the OSX zoom function: Control - scroll-wheel / track pad scroll
    Up zooms in, Down zoom out.

  • How do you restore the toolbars

    When I click a shortcut on my desktop when the page opens all the toolbars and address bar are gone. The page opens at the top of the webpage. This does not happen when I open Internet Explorer. In fact the top of this page is at the top of my monitor screen. I cannot see anything above the ASK A QUESTION, heading. When this happened I made an online payment to a credit card.

    If you hit the F11 key, do you see the toolbars again? [[How to make Firefox and websites go full screen]]

  • How do I customize the toolbars to put the Navigation and Menu toolbars on the SAME line? I want to maximize browser window space on my laptop.

    I want to keep my browser tools very minimalistic so as to maximize the browser window space on my small laptop screen. I only need the navigation and menu toolbars, plus a Google search window. I'd like to put them all on the same line on the toolbar. Right now the navigation toolbar defaults to sit below the menu bar.
    Is there any way to combine them on one line? Thanks.

  • How do I customize the toolbar if I've removed the "view" tab from the toolbar?

    I was trying to customize my toolbar while working in excel and accidentally removed all of the tabs along the top toolbar (File, Edit, View, etc).  I can't figure out how to put them back as all of the help threads begin with "go to the View tab".

    Hi, ryanfromtorrance.
    I think I'm understanding what you did.
    You will need to start in the Excel menu bar at the very top of your screen.  The one with the  in the far left corner.  Find the View menu there. It should be three over from the  icon.
    Click View > Customize Toolbars and Menus...
    When the Customize Toolbars and Menus window opens, click the Toolbars and Menus tab, then make sure the checkbox next to Standard is checked.
    That should return the display of your toolbar when you close that customize window.
    I hope this is helpful.

  • How can I customize the opened browser window

    I need to customize the browsers to tell them not to display the address bar or any toolbars. This will be a stand alone presentation that won't connect to the web but use the browser to present. I don't want any browser details. As close to a frame as possible like a pop up window.

    When you post a question and then repost more variations of that question, the threads can grow very confusing.  This one has been answered in one of your other threads.  I am locking it.

  • How can I customize the toolbar to show undo button??

    Is there a DW equivilent to the "standard toolbar" in CFB2, because I am looking for a way to put the most basic editing commands of Undo/Redo/Copy/Paste and do not see a way to add these to a visible toolbar.  All I see is I have to click the Edit menu, then select the command I want.  I will be really disappointed if I cannot include basic commands like this on a toolbar.  Please don't tell me about keyboard shortcuts, I know they are there but I like to have the visual buttons up on my toolbar, too.  Save All and Word Wrap would be another command I current have on a DW toolbar but can't see how to customize this in CFB2.  Am I missing something?

    I have news for you, some good, some bad, and some where you can still help your cause.
    First, I'll note that I raised this issue for you at RIAcon this weekend, when Hemant (Engineering Director for CF and CFB) spoke on CFB2. He agreed that adding more buttons for folks who prefer that could be helpful.
    I have to admit, though, that I couldn't remember which key it was, and thought it was a bold. Someone pointed out that there was indeed a button bar for such HTML things (though behind a tab you have to notice and open). I think that may have then deflected Hemant's concern for this.
    So I have added him here as a CC (don't know if he's a member of this forum. BTW, Hemant, if you're not, then any reply won't get to the group, but if you add me in manually ([email protected]), I'll forward your reply if I don't see it appear in the forum.)
    And as I noted, DCwebGuy--why don't people use first names in these forums? -- you could and should at least raise this as a feature request. There may well be other who are with you. The bugbase does support voting, and you could reply to this note with your bug id to give it more pub.
    Moving on (and not to be snarky but instead speaking sincerely) while you say you're a hard-core coder, I'd think there must be "designer-like" features of DW that you like (way beyond this one button click issue) enough to lead you to prefer to stay there and not leverage the many features in CFB that are NOT in DW. If that's not so, then perhaps you didn't see enough of what CFB could do for you.
    I'll say this: some features (like some elements of the fantastic code assist) only work if you go the extra steps of enabling a server connection and things like that. If you don't do that, you won't see and appreciate these unique new features that DW does NOT have. Have you at least seen demos or read the guides to fully appreciate what you're forgoing? It's not "just another editor".
    But again, DW certainly does some things that CFB does not (and may never), so it really different strokes for different folks.
    Finally, if it really were just about keyboard shortcuts vs mouse clicks, I'll suggest that, at least with undo, ctrl-z is used in nearly every app out there, so it's not like it's a burden to learn and use it. That's a terrible way to end, as I'm sure it sounds snarky. Again, I don't mean it. I'm just saying what I'm sure some reading this would think, so if you're moved to respond feel free to do so for their sake--but please take a breath first if this got your blood pressure up. And please don't shoot the messenger.

  • How do you customize the interface?

    My question: how can I adjust the user interface to bring back just a little of the 3-d effect? Are there files that can be copied back from Mavericks, for instance?
    I'm having difficulty using the Yosemite interface just like I do with Windows: there isn't enough information to tell me what's clickable. This "flat" trend takes away the visual affordances that I rely on. I am not the sort who memorizes "where to click" or what all the icon graphics are meant to mean, especially in software that I don't use often. I've almost completely given up using iPads because of interface flatness — it's just easier to go back to pencil-and-paper now that I often can't tell what's interactable and what's just decoration! Apple used to engineer all this so very well, and for me it's sad to see that they're now pursuing trendy looks ahead of functional design.
    Note that this is not a question about taste. It's purely about user interface usability. But if you can answer this, it might help the people who have taste-based issues about Yosemite as well.
    I won't have much choice about which version of OS X I use either. I'll keep Mavericks on my home computer, but my work computer has to be kept in sync with the institutional norms so Yosemite looks inevitable there.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I am looking for the 3-d contouring that makes clickable things look clickable, as opposed to increasing the contrastiness of it all. I actually find it distractingly jumpy even with contrast low — though there is a chance that I may end up simply getting used to it with time.

  • How do you make the project bin window Not come up in quick edit in PE9?

    A few weeks ago I started to notice the Project Bin coming up whenever I went to quick edit. I don't think it did it before that. I always have to go to windows and uncheck it to get more screen space to work with.
    How do I get the Project Bin to Not automatically come up when I press Quick edit in Premier Elements 9?

    This is the Premiere Elements forum.
    Quick Edit is a function of Photoshop Elements. If this is a question about Photoshop Elements, you're more likely to get an answer in the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • Reader X - How do you dock the toolbar permanently on an enterprise install?

    We are testing Adobe Reader X now on several machines in our environment. We do not like the floating toolbar and want to dock it permanently for all users (per machine), not just the current user.
    The following thread documents the HKCU setting for this.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3607029#3607029
    Is there a machine setting or all user setting that can be used when creating the .mst with the Customization Wizard?
    We do not want any of our users (30,000 in all) to have to manually make this change.
    Enterprise installs should have enterprise soutions for issues like this.
    Thanks,

    To clarify:
    Adobe Reader X
    When opening pdfs on the web, some toolbars are not displayed. They appear as a floating tool bar when you move the cursor down the page.  We have had user complaints from users we currenlty have testing Adobe Reader X about this floating tool bar. Since we have 30,000 users, we do not want the Help Desk innundated with calls when we deploy Adobe Reader X to all of these machines.  We need to be able dock the loating tool bar permanently in Adobe Reader X at the machine level, not at the Current User level. This is an enterprise install and I would would like to be able to make this change in the .mst file using the Cusomization Wizard X.
    Thanks,

  • How do you change the format from Windows to Mac

    Does anyone know how to change the format from Windows to Mac? When I first bought my iPod I had windows but now would like to change this. Also is anyone aware why some tracks pause for 2 seconds and then carries on.

    Restore the iPod in iTunes for Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the Mac version and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

  • How do you change the CLASSPATH in windows XP

    How do you add a *.jar file to you CLASSPATH on Windows XP?
    I can see the PATH variable but there is no CLASSPATH variable

    Your CLASSPATH should be under -users variables-, if it's not there, just create it. Click on New, then next to Variable name, type in CLASSPATH, and next to variable value, type in your .jar file....
    That should be enough...hopefully!!
    Good luck!
