    folder view confusion


    Attached are screenshots of my windows folder on two different systems. I cannot tell why one of them has an infobar at the bottom and the other one does not.

    Anyone know how to display/hide the infobar?

    In the upper left corner, you will see a drop-down menu Organize. Click on that, expand "Layout" and check/uncheck "Details Pane".

    In the windows that doesn't have it enabled: Organize > Layout > Details Pane to toggle it on or off.
