Hi, I just downloaded CS version 4.2.4.

RE: Installation instructions: The toolbar for Windows Explorer may not show up automatically after installation. You have to do a few things before you can use it. Windows 8: Press Alt+V to open the View ribbon. Click on the down arrow in the “Options” section. Select “Classic Explorer Bar”

>>> OK the “Classic Explorer Bar” is selected in there. Now what? I am not seeing the CB anywhere! I have restarted the computer but still nothing! Where do I go from here?

Re: If these steps don’t work, it may be possible that the Explorer extensions have been disabled. Check the following, then try to show the toolbar again:
1.Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools -> Manage add-ons. Locate the add-ons “Classic Explorer Bar” and “ExplorerBHO Class” and make sure they are enabled.

>>>> Ok, they are enabled in IE. Now what?



Re: On Windows 8 the Classic Explorer status bar is different from the one in Explorer. You can show/hide the first one from the Classic Explorer settings dialog and show/hide the second one from Explorer’s folder options dialog.

>>> Where do I find the Classic Explorer settings dialog to show/hide it and/or where/how to do this in the Explorer’s folder options dialog?
Thanks for any help with this,
Jim J

Try toggling the "Classic Explorer Bar" setting a few times.

You can access the Classic Explorer settings from the toolbar (if you have it) or from start menu.

You can access the Explorer settings from the Options button in the View ribbon.
