Can't I customize the Explorer toolbar?

The toolbar of Windows Explorer and file open/save dialog, was
customizable (at least choose what to display) on Windows XP, but not
on Windows Vista. Well, I don't want much but I hope there's a delete
icon because I delete files often. That was possible on Windows XP,
but it looks like I have no control over what is being displayed on
Windows Vista.

Can't I display "delete" or "property" icon instead of those stupid
"play all" and "burn" icons?

If you delete files often, wouldn't it be quicker for you to
just right click and select 'delete', or even quicker if you
are a keyboard user, hit the 'delete' key? I'm curious...

You can turn on the classic menu bar from the Organize/Layout menu.

No, I am sorry. For me, the toolbar delete was more convenient. I
often use only mouse to operate Windows so I prefer that to the delete
key.

The OP said he has success with 'QTTabBar' - This link in
the post itself doesn't seem to work though.
