How do you get the toolbar to open to begin with???
In my Windows 11, I cannot get Open-Shell Explorer toolbar to appear at all.

I've tried just about everything I could think of to get our beloved Open-Shell Explorer toolbar to come back to life, but nothing has thus far worked.
I so hope we figure this one out.
