No it is not possible. However, you can use Classic Explorer toolbar in combination with another toolbar that allows custom buttons. Two such toolbars are StExBar and QTTabBar. I will recommend StExBar since it's native code and is also very stable. QTTabBar is managed code and also often crashes Explorer.

I like StExBar

any ideas on how to make a new button with command: "Notepad.exe %curdir" work to assign it a name or just place the new document in the folder with the name highlighted?

right now it behaves the same as Classic Shell, except that StExBar will default to a new Document in the Current directory, even without any name at all present, whereas Classic Shell requires some form of a name after notepad.exe to drop the file into the active folder

i'm thinking something like "Notepad.exe %NewTextDocument %curdir"or something like that

i still prefer QTtab for the tabbed browsing..

seems classic shell can do most of what StExBar can do.. but i like the "copy paths" button, any idea how to add that to Classic Shell?

QT private build 128 seems stable enough to me (only crashes 2-3 times a week :P) 66 was pretty unstable

I use QTTabBar 1.5002 beta. I have try the other versions and again go back to this version. Is very stable to me with 0% crash.

I don't use STEXBar, i use DMEX toolbar but only for my drive/Net drive letters C, D, E, F, G,..........Y, Z.
