Customising the toolbar
Written by Philip Roy

toolbar1.gifEvery window has a toolbar of buttons at the top. these include buttons to change the view (icon, list and column) as well as search your computyer for file.

Also, a new button has appeared known as the 'Action' button for soing things like assigning colour lebls to files and folders. Now while these buttons can all be taken on and off this toolbar bu going to the "View" menu and choosing "Cutomize Toolbar...", what you may not know is that they can sit anywhere you want at the top of each window. toolbar2.gifSo, by holding down the 'Command' (or 'Apple') key, you can click and drag these icons around and place them on the left and right of the window in any order you want.

The moment you do that, all windows will take on the same look and placement of buttons. Even better for someone lime me, that doesn't have any need of the 'Action' button...you can hold down the 'Command' (or 'Apple') key and click and drag this button off the window and it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Any time you want any items back, you can go up to the "View" menu and choose "Customize Toolbar..." like before.
