Solved File Details in finder window.

[phpfanboi]

Hey guys ,
I messed around with the file settings , and now when i click a file i can no longer see the details of that file at the bottom of the screen.

For instance it would show date modified , file type , and so on .

Any ideas? Cheers!

Hi and welcome to the Forum. I.m guessing that what you mean is with Windows Explorer open when you click on a file the details pane is missing. If so Click on "View" then "Choose Details" and check the appropriate boxes.

Thanks but i still cant figure out why the details aren't showing across the buttom , horizontally when u click a file , stumped. Was doing it yesterday .

But have you done what I suggested? If so are the check boxes now checked?

Yeah the ones i wanted are checked , here is another example if you highlight a drive , in the finder window , usually a grey bar comes across the bottom of the finder window , showing you the free space? Or am i just tripping ? lol!

Have you tried resetting the folders?

Explorer > Organize > Folder and Search options and in the View tab click Reset Folders

Highlighting a folder gives me this:



And a file gives me this:


Highlighting a drive gives the same detail as a folder above. No free space detail.

Hmmmm



Are there any custom themes being used?

Hi Jeff Now it seems as if I have problem!
I'm using the Windows 7 Aero Theme. Will try another couple of themes to see what happens. Never bothered with the Disk detail before!

I'm getting details on anything I click, even folders show "Date Modified" :shock:

And I'm using Standard windows 7 themes, no patching or customization (appart from wallpaper)

Have tried 3 different themes, now on Windows Classic in the Basic section!

According to what I have just read in a MS foum, this feature was wihdrawn in Vista and Win 7. To get it back one needs "Classic Shell". I have downloaded this but as I don't really need it I don't intend installing it. But odd that the drive detail is showing on your Setup. Have you ever heard of "Classic Shell"?

OK New development. I have been highlighting the Drives in the navigat ion panel on the left. If I d/click "Computer " in that pane then highlight a drive in the right pane I do indeed get all the details. I wonder if the OP is highlighting in the "Wrong" place like me?

And that's what i am missing , not sure how to get it back exactly? Do you know how?
Its blank there now , but that's my main issue right now.

Where are you highlighting the folder or drive, in the left nav pane or the right pane? See my post above!

The drive itself , and also that same tab would come across the bottom for image files , or any particular file i had highlighted for that matter .

Ill just install the classic shell and see how it goes , thanks for trying anyway , you have wasted enough time on it already . Appreciate it Cheers mitchell65
