Windows 10: How to show full path in Windows Explorer warning dialog

When deleting a folder you sometimes get a warning, but the warning only lists the current object that has the problem. Without context, such as the parent folder or the full path, it is hard to figure out what to do.Is there way to see the full path instead of just the folder name?

How to have full path always show in Address bar in file explorer?

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

You can change the Windows 11 File Explorer address bar to show the full file path by following these steps:

1. Open File Explorer.
   
2. Click on the three-dot menu icon located at the top right of the window.
   
3. Click on 'Options'.
   
4. In the 'Folder Options' window that appears, go to the 'View' tab.
   
5. In the 'Advanced settings' list, find and check the 'Display the full path in the title bar' option.
   
6. Click 'Apply', then 'OK'.
   

Please let me know how it goes, or if you need further assistance.

Disable File Explorer Address Bar Path History?

Hello, After entering a file path manually in File Explorer, the entry is kept in the dropdown list of the address bar until I go to View > Options > Clear File Explorer History. I'd like Windows to never store these paths, if possible. I have successfully disabled autocomplete via the registry using the following guide, but it doesn't prevent the history of file paths to be stored: Turn On or Off Inline AutoComplete in File Explorer and Run Dialog I've searched and searched but can't find a solution to this, yet. Hopefully someone has something to suggest that I haven't tried. I know it's possible, since I believe I had it working on my last Win10 machine, but I'm not sure how I did it. Thanks in advance!
