Description
As we all know Windows Vista and 7 come with a new re-designed Explorer which is pretty much different from Windows XP Explorer. Windows XP Explorer comes with Standard toolbar which allows us to easily add/remove buttons. On the other hand, Windows Vista and 7 Explorer come with re-designed Command bar which is not customizable. You can't add/remove buttons from it.Although Microsoft doesn't provide any option to customize the Command bar in Windows Explorer, you can use a Registry trick to add/remove buttons from it.
Following AskVG tutorial teaches you how to add/remove buttons from Windows Explorer's Command bar in Windows Vista and 7 using Windows Registry:

Love your website and all of your tips. I have a question, is there any way to add the following two buttons to the command bar: Move to... and Copy to... ? If that's possible, is there any way to create a button to move items to one specific folder (So that you don't have to browse for it in a popup dialog)?
