Hi, just switched to W7 and Classic Explorer seems to be able to put back the xp style status bar feature where the size of the files in the current folder are displayed in the status bar. I can't however get it to work that way, all the options on the status bar settings tab are ticked and I can't see another option to enable it. Am I missing something?

On Windows 7, you have to turn on the status bar from the View menu of Explorer. That blue horizontal pane is the Details pane.

Ah ok, the details pane is missing from the screenshot on the website so I thought it got replaced with the status bar. Now I know of course you can enable the status bar seperatly and disable the details pane. Still finding my way around W7 sorry.

Anyway thanks for you help and for this app.
