I'm guessing Windows7 works the same way as Vista. To see the information you want to see in the status bar (size in folder, files, etc) you actually need to highlight the files. Yes, it kind of annoys me to, i use Vista.

So, a lot of times i just have to 'ctrl + a' to select all.

i get what your saying but in windows 7 microsoft is making it more of the idea you no longer have to go look for your stuff but more that it is right in front of you so havening the information ya want while good is not useful anymore and is useless and beside that why should ya worry about HDD space if you got like 1TB of it he he

Dude...I don't get why you keep replying, despite the fact that you have absolutely nothing useful to say.

If you don't have any ideas on how to remedy the situation, then I believe you ought to limit yourself to one fanboi reply per thread.

they do show ya the size of a file when ya have it selected as shown here

True, we determined that. But it not as useful as what we had before, as witnessed by deepblue's pic

Naturally, what I'm hoping, is that someone much smarter than me(yea yea, move along :D) will come along and show me how to fix it...

and how is it not useful i would like to know as it does exactly the same thing you want but at the same time can provide more informations by the means of Meta data .

ouch.gifouch.gifouch.gif I'll try it one more time.

Picture it. You're in windows. You're moving files into a given folder. Ya wanna keep track of how big that folder is getting...you simply glance at the bottom of the page. It could not be easier...and it is not easier in 7, which begs the question...why remove something like that..??

Replacing it with something better, is fine. But replacing it with...nothing, is moronic...

I right clicked on it and it gave me an option large/medium/small - I selected small - nothing happened - wtf. Also the new explorer needs more right click functionality - lost of places do no react to right clicks. :(

Added right-click functionality has been added in the latest build 7057.

One of the largest things that bugs me in Explorer 7 is that there's no space usage total when entering a folder like there was in the old NT5.x status bar. A simple line like "24 Items, 43.1MB + Subfolders" would suffice, with the size linking to a properties window to total up the subfolders. Even more perplexing is how when you select 16 files or more, the space usage isn't totaled automatically (you have to click "more details"), and selecting a folder causes size to disappear from the details pane entirely.

The details pane: not enough details. :wacko:

Why are people having such a hard time understanding Rickkins' request?

He does not want single or grouped file sizes.

He does not want "the statusbar back"

He does not want to replace the details pane.

He wants the current free disk space of the currently explored hard drive to be displayed in the details pane when browsing the drive in explorer.

This won't be redundant information because the only way to see free disk space is by either going to "Computer" or going to the drive's properties. The information won't be displayed on the "Computer" window because you're not exploring a particular drive at the time.

This could easily be displayed in the details pane where the other old statusbar information is currently kept, such as file sizes, file counts etc.

This was one of the features I missed when I upgraded to Vista and have since gotten over it, but would gladly like to see if back in 7.

I'm sure that drive screenshots being censored, the drive's title will either be something about porn or pirated stuffs? lol

Dont go there ;) ;) ;) ;)

Jokes aside though,

Enabled the status bar in Windows 7 earlier...it only displayed the items, but there was small bevels/borders/bumps on it at some places, indicating that it should show more information?

There was less of it? I mean the organize / new library / view toolbar / get help toolbar - it ain't right clickable and it would be nice if I could customize it a bit.

The status bar should have an option to make it smaller at the very least. Yes/No?

fine if you must have the windows 95 to windows XP status bar back in any given explorer window click on organize go to layout click on menu bar go to view and click on status bar simple as that

Wow. Three pages, and that's all you got...?? :no:

The point, again, is that the damn status bar does not display what is should.

Right you are. Because asking that the "new and improved" version of windows not lose a piece of functionality that the "old and in need of improving" version had is so utterly impetuous.

Perhaps the Brandon fellow will happen by.

It's obvious what Rikkins means!

I too would like to see more info here .. seems to be wasted space when you are 'drilling' down into sub-folders .. all you get is the folder icon and how many files ithere are.

Yes, wasted space indeed. It would be better if it said:

16 items

12.34 MB in total

Perhaps even with "Disk free space: 34.56 GB" as third line.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
