Move Command

Does anyone know if Vista has the "move command" that XP had? Also, is
there a way to add command icons to the toolbar such as "copy, paste,
delete, undo, etc"? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ted,

If you are referring to the "Copy to Folder" an "Move to Folder", then
this tutorial will show you how to add them to the contect menu.

I do not know about adding the others to the toolbar.

The tool bar menu can be made permanent by going to folder options and
selecting always show menus.

Hi Ted,

"move" works for me, on Vista:

C:\>move /?
Moves files and renames files and directories.

To move one or more files:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination

To rename a directory:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 dirname2

[drive:][path]filename1 Specifies the location and name of the file
or files you want to move.
destination Specifies the new location of the file.
Destination
can consist of a drive letter and colon, a
directory name, or a combination. If you are
moving
only one file, you can also include a filename if
you want to rename the file when you move it.
[drive:][path]dirname1 Specifies the directory you want to rename.
dirname2 Specifies the new name of the directory.

/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to
overwrite an existing destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite
an existing destination file.

The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is
to prompt on overwrites unless MOVE command is being executed from
within a batch script.

C:\>

Regarding toolbars ... each toolbar is defined by the application it is part
of; so it's pretty much up to each app to determine if and how its toolbars
are user-configurable.

If you're thinking of the Explorer toolbar, I think this is pretty fixed in
Vista ... there's no easy way to add/remove icons. The Explorer toolbar
changes, according to the type of object selected; and in the case of
folders, depending on the Template which has been applied to the Folder (so,
a Folder marked as "Music" gets a slightly different toolbar compared to a
Documents folder, etc). There might be some kind of hack to add icons, but I
don't know it.

Hope it helps,

It's in the menu that appears when you right click drag an object to another
location. As far as I know, the only way to add command icons as you
specify to the toolbar would be through a registry hack.

Nope they got rid of it. There are plenty of ways to recreate the
functionality of it.

I don't think he is talking about the command line view. I think Ted is
asking about the "Action Pane" in Windows XP.
