  1. Windows Explorer will not display the full path in the title bar


    In Windows Explorer, when I choose Downloads from the left column, I want this to appear in the title bar:C:\Users\MyUser\DownloadsWhat I currently see is either just the word Downloads or the phrase "My PC > Downloads"It does not work to check the box in View Options that says "Display the full path in the title bar", that's checked and it does not work, on my home computer or my work computer Windows 10 Home / Windows 10 Enterprise.How can I always display the full path in the title bar for "special" folders that get aliased, like Downloads, and Documents?

    :)

    Windows 10 explorer not displaying correct network path in title bar

    While there are many things I do like about Windows 10 compared to earlier versions I find it very disconcerting that explorer does not display the correct network path in the title bar. So For the actual path "\\server\documents" I am seeing "This PC > Documents". For me it is always critical I am looking in the right location otherwise there can be serious unwanted consequences. Does anyone know how I can force explorer in Windows 10 to always show the correct path and so avoid any confusion?

    Windows Explorer will not display the full path in the title bar

    Taskbar folder name explorer title bar full path

    I don't think you can achieve both at the same time.
    If you uncheck 'Display full path in Title Bar' in Folder Options, then you'll get the single location on the Taskbar Folder, but, then you'll have to rely on the location bar for the full path.
