toolbar customization

Windows 11’s File Explorer is being enhanced for speed and reliability but lacks a customizable toolbar, which many users find essential. In contrast, Files version 4.0.39 allows users to customize the toolbar by adding, removing, and reordering actions, which helps reduce visual clutter and speeds up access to tasks. Users can also display text labels alongside icons for better usability. Historically, File Explorer had tabbed browsing before the redesign in Windows 11. Files is available for purchase on the Microsoft Store or can be downloaded for free via GitHub, with an option to sponsor the developer.
