I would like a toolbar attached to Windows Explorer. This toolbar should appear when I go to certain folders and disappear when I go to other folders.
I tried to set a trigger "Window - Name changed" "C:\Windows". In this case the toolbar does correctly appear when I go to that folder; the problem is that it does not disappear when I go to a different folder, for example "C:\".

I would like, if possible, an improvement in this function.
My toolbar should be visible as long as I am in a certain folder, including its subfolders.
At present, if I go in a different subfolder, the toolbar disappears, perhaps because the function sees that windows name has changed.

function hwnd idObject idChild
;Opens and closes QM toolbars when you open a folder window or navigate to another folder in a folder window.
;Runs when the address bar name changes. The name is the folder path; it is not displayed as raw path.
;Tested on Windows 7 and 10. Will not work on XP.
;Need to edit this function: change/add/remove the code that opens (mac) and closes (clo) toolbars.
;For non-English Windows edition users:
;;;If does not work, need to replace the word "Address" in this function and in its trigger.
;;;To discover it, capture the address bar with the "Find accessible object" dialog and you'll see it in the Name field.
str addressBarName="Address"
#region don't edit this
wait 10 WV hwnd; err ret ;;detects the name change when closing the window
str s.getwintext(hwnd); s.remove(0 addressBarName.len+2)
int w=GetAncestor(hwnd 2) ;;hwnd is the address bar control, and now we need the folder window
#endregion
;Edit the following code.
;This code works only if you need 1 such toolbar. Can be modified to support multiple toolbars, but it is not so simple.
