Hi Earlz,
Like I promised, I've done some research on internet and went through the registry with a tooth comb.
Bad news is, that it's not there and there is no way to get it back.
Microsoft decided that details bar belongs to details view.
However there is good news too.
And I think if you take some time to get used to it, you might even come to love it. (as is the case with many new things)
------------------------------------------------
In all the views that don't have the bar, you can rightclick on a empty space in the view. (hence not on a file or folder)
You'll find that in the contextmenu are two options named "sort by" and "group by".
The "sort by" option will give you the same options you had with the "sort bar", but much more powerfull.
By default the "Sort by" menu show the properties you are used to, like "Name, Date, Type, etc...."
But when you look down a bit you'll see "More".
When you click that, you'll find an insane list of properties you can set, to tweak your views to the max.
So worst case for you, is that you instead of one click like in Vista, now you have to rightclick/leftclick to get the same result.
I take it you can live with that.
Now, that's not all.
The "Group by" option in the context menu is nothing short of a gem!
You have the same set of parameters, and under the "more" option is the same insane list of properties you can set.
Go and experiment for an hour or so with it, give it some time, and you might just fall in love with it.
If not?
Hey, I did my best. Hope you appreciate it.
