New Tab Default "My Computer"
Anonymous (82.201.177.x) 1198262432|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Is it possible to make the default Directory when opening a new tab "My Computer" or "Computer" in Vista?

when I try to change the directory to "My Computer" the "OK" button is disabled.

I figured it out for XP. You just have to set the defualt directory to the following:

::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Maybe it does work for Vista, too …

You saved me a double click ;-) Thanks a lot fresco!
and yes it works for Vista.

Note for Quizo: This toolbar is the best thing that ever happend for Windows especially XP and I hope you add this option as the default in later builds, Thanks a lot Mr.Quizo

also you can create a group containing "My Computer" and set that group to open automatically when you double click the bar. Works great and no one would ever know it isn't a standard feature!

Hey, Could you please explain how to do that. I want to get the tab bar to work more like firefox, double clicking on the tabbar opens a new tab, or a new tab button on the right like in google chrome.
Thanks.

Its easy dude.

1) Go to options
2) Go to Tab
3) Then look for "When background double-clicked?" and click on the drop down box to the right of it and select "New Tab"
4) Just Below that you have "Path/Group name" - this is where you can set the target path/group that your New Tab will open to.
5) Apply and okay and give it a go :D
