Adding buttons to the Explorer Toolbar

In XP, I can add buttons to the explorer toolbar by rm-clicking on the bar
then selecting customize and choosing the new buttons.

How can I do this in Vista?

Thanks for the response...

That's really too bad. Frankly, I thought this was one of the best features
of XP; allowing me to create a toolbar nearly meeting my exact needs. This
features helps reduce common tasks/clicks and helps me get the job done
faster. This Vista limitation alone might push me back to XP!! I was
hoping that Vista would allow greater GUI customization so that I can reduce
my mouse travel.

There's no doubt that Vista GUIs *looks* Great! But, i'm interested in
performance and getting one-click access to my most common tasks. I've
already turned off the fancy stuff to maximize performance, consequently my
machines looks more like XP. I don't need flipping and fading windows on my
office machine--I want my answers and I want them now!

I'm also upset that my XP menu-keystrokes don't translate to Vista or
MSO2007 keys. Word, one might say, supports 2003 menu key sequences, but
this ain't so. In 2003, if I needed to undo something, ALT-E then Enter
works, 2008 requires ALT-E then U. Excel 2007 is a big improvement over
2003. But the OS and Word seem to have lost their advantage.

Thanks again.

Just as the PC OS was evolving to primate status, a committee drove it back
to brontosaurs.

IMPOSSIBLE in vista....

You are one of thousands if not millions that complain about this stupid
restriction.

John Draper would know better. And Greenblatt would never work a help
desk. Stallman would revese engineer and rewrite the GUI. I work at the
TMRC and long for the days when I could assy code on a PDP-8/L that acheived
digital perfection. (lac dap dippy dap lio dio JMP)
