How do I move the "details pane" to the bottom of "File Explorer" in Windows 10

According to an Insider on this thread it is not possible anymore without 3rd party software, like BrainStorm.exe suggested.

You can download "OldNewExplorer" and when installing check "Show details pane on the bottom". Due to an issue you may have to enable "Launch folder windows in a separate process" inside Folder Options > View. Full credit to BrainStorm.exe for suggesting it.

However, you can add extra details with a reg hack, as suggested here. You can download the reg hack here.

Unfortunately I can't get this to work on build 1809 so I guess it does not work on newer builds.

Edit: Nice I can embed pictures now.


Using some info obtained from this page, I discovered that you can. First, you will need to download the free tool OldNewExplorer, run it, check the box that says "Show details pane on the bottom", and click Install. It should be on the bottom of your explorer windows now.

There is an issue that can occur that can cause explorer to seem to ignore the settings you have set in OldNewExplorer. You can work around this going to Folder Options->View and check the box "Launch folder windows in a separate process". This will have windows open explorer windows in a different process than the one that is running your task bar.
