If you’re like most people, you probably use Vista to do things like surf the web and play games. But if you’re a bread-and-butter user of Windows XP, there’s a good chance that you don’t know how to create breadcrumbs. Here’s how:
- Open the Start menu and type “cmd.” (or “cmd+x”)
- Type “breadcrumbs” and hit enter.
- The breadcrumbs window will open, and you’ll be able to see all of the different types of bread crumbs that Vista offers. You can use these crumbs to help you find specific items in your computer’s memory or on your hard drive.
Installation of this application is fairly simple, just unzip the files into the location you’d like to keep them, and then double-click on the QTAddressBar.exe file.
Select the Install option, and then click the Next button to register the component with Windows.
At this point you need to either log off and back on, or restart explorer.exe through Task Manager. You can select the File \ New Task option once you kill the process.
Assuming you are back from restarting explorer, now right-click on the toolbars area and do these two actions:
Deselect Address Bar Select QT Breadcrumbs Address Bar
Now you’ll have an incredibly similar breadcrumbs implementation for Windows XP.
Of course, there are also some of you that don’t like the breadcrumbs in Vista, and there’s a way to disable those too.
