ok i was just wonderin wether any 1 can help me

i got a tool bar in my start menu by
right clickin on start menu > toolbars > new toolbar
and it shows my list of mp3's but some songs have long file names so it only shows like half of the name

is there any way/tweak that will let the tool bar show the full file name?

cheers !

Best guess would be to try resizing it by dragging the edge, other than that I don't know.

Resizin' then is I believe the only way otherwise disable text and read the tooltips instead.

Or use my method, its designed for preventing crashes but it might work for things like this as well.

Get ahold of an obsolete computer and monitor. Get ahold of something like an axe, sword, sledgehammer, whatever. Turn on your computer and if its a desktop turn the monitor out the window so it can watch, if its a laptop carry it out for a grandstand view. Take the weapon and demolish the obsolete computer.

If it doesn't work, at least you feel better about it.

Remind me never to ask you for PC help Jimmy! :)

Is it actually long file names, or long song names? You could try editing the ID3 tags on the mp3's to make the names shorter

Try this for editing the tags. If you're chezslovakian aint up to scratch, there's an english link on the side ;)
