Windows XP and Explorer

Display Folder Path in Explorer Title Bar

SUMMARY: Make it easier to know what folder you are opening in Explorer. Add full paths to the title bars of Windows XP folders.
 
When you open a subfolder from Explorer in Windows XP, such as C:\Downloads\Games or C:\Multimedia Files\Graphics, only the name of the subfolder, such as "Games" or "Graphics", appears in the folder's title bar. This way you can quickly glance at a folder's title bar, or a folder's button on the Windows Taskbar, to see exactly where it is located on your system.

1. Open any folder in Explorer.

2. Choose "Tools" then "Folder Options".

3. When the multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select the "View" tab.

4. Check "Display the full path in the title bar".

5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
