Toolbar menu

The toolbar menu lets you choose the position of the main toolbar or turn it off altogether.

Lock toolbars

Toggles the gripper handles on the toolbars. These are the vertical handles seen to the left of each toolbar. When holding the mouse pointer above a gripper the cursor changes to a move/size symbol. This means that you can move the bar around by clicking on the gripper and holding the left mouse button down while dragging the bar to the desired position. Locking the toolbars disable these grippers.

·Thumbnails - Shows a thumbnail image for each file in the folder.  
·Tiles - Shows a tiled view of all files in the folder.
