    Changing the items in the Windows Explorer Details Pane


    I want to make some specific changes to the default Preview Details string for picture files in Windows Explorer. I have found an excellent write-up on how to edit that string using regedit, but the author was only interested in the specific around music. In the attached picture, I show the file properties/attributes that I am interested in placing in the Detail Pane. The current edited string is shown below.


    prop:System.Photo.DateTaken;System.Keywords;System.Title;System.Subject;
    *System.Photo.PeopleNames;*System.Contact.Location;*System.Contact.StateOrProvince;
    *System.Contact.Country;System.Comment;*System.DateCreated;*System.DateModified;
    *System.SharedWith

    As you can see, some work, others don't. Is there a comprehensive list of these properties and their syntax in the form
    (*)System.xxxx.yyy
    that one can refer to when modifying the string?

    There should be a menu item to configure columns (not on a PC to actually check), see if the names given there work?

    GokAy; I have no idea what you mean. Menu item - where? It is not the columns that I wish to configure. It is the details pane at the bottom of the page.
