Hide Menubar, Addressbar & Throbber in My Computer in Windows XP



Many times we want to hide Menubar, addressbar or the little throbber in Explorer window, but we can't hide them cause there is no option available to hide them except addressbar.

Here I'll tell you how can you hide them using a simple registry hack.

To Revert Back to Default Settings:

Just download following zip file, extract it and you'll get separate .REG files for each option. Run the desired .Reg file. It'll ask for confirmation, simply click on YES and then OK.

  • VG, is there a way that we could change the throbber to another image?

  • VG

    ^^ You'll need to edit "Shell32.dll" file to change the throbber image.

  • thx VG :smile:

  • How does anyone know how to edit shell32.dll with recourse Hacker (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/)or another app to change the throbber???

  • Hi Everyone,

    I have made a registry file that will show only the Styler Toolbar and nothing else even if Styler is not running. Just open the "Show Styler Toolbar Only.reg" file and Single-Click on "Yes".Download Link
