How to Show Current Path on Title Bar in Windows 8

Introduction

Windows 8 is now released and Microsoft has changed some default behavior that exists in the previous version of Windows. Here I will discuss with you one of the changes that have occurred in Windows 8.

Step 1. Open the Windows Explorer by pressing the Win+R key.

You will see that the title bar does not show the full path of the location.

Step 2. Go to the View menu from the top of the window.

Step 3. Select the Option from the top left of the window. Now, click on the "Change folder and search options" from the drop-down list.

Step 4. Switch to the View tab in the Folder Options window.

Step 5. At last check the "Display the full path in the title bar" checkbox like this. Click the OK button to apply the change.
