Hai VG, I installed this QTAddress bar in my Windows XP SP3 PC. I have .Net 1.1,2.0 and 3.0 installed. The QTA gave two menus 1. QTAddress bar and 2. QT Standard Button. I enabled both and the Standard Button toolbar is not good. QTAddress bar is not looking as shown in this Article. It's showing me only one Tab of the same folder. When click the tab I am getting the list of all subfolders and Files which I don't need exactly. Please suggest what to do exactly I get the Toolbar as in this artcie?? :?:
