Windows XP is a great operating system, but it can be a bit daunting for first-time users. If you’re looking for an easy way to get started with Windows XP, check out the minimalist explorer breadcrumbs guide. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the minimalistic explorer breadcrumbs tool, which makes navigating your computer much easier. ..


This explorer add-on is written to be as minimal as possible, and is much easier to install. Overall quite a nice solution for those stuck on Windows XP.

Installation

All you really have to do is download and install the utility. Close out all Windows Explorer windows, and then open up a new window, and you’ll see the new toolbar over to the right.

Uncheck “Lock the Toolbars” if checked…

 

And then drag the toolbar down underneath the other toolbars. You can also hide the regular Address Bar toolbar if you’d like.

 

Usage

Since we are all running now, you can use the arrows to quickly navigate through the folders.

Or if you click in the address bar it will convert into a textbox address bar (which is why you don’t need the original address bar)

You’ll also notice that memory usage is extremely light, since it’s a plugin for Explorer but written to be as minimal as possible.

Overall this is a much better choice than the other breadcrumbs alternative we featured before.
