Is it possible to get more screen real-estate in explorer in windows 8?

  1. You can simply minimise the ribbon:

  2. To always start Explorer with the ribbon in a minimised state, in Group Policy Editor (Start / Run / gpedit.msc), go to Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Explorer, double-click on Start Windows Explorer with Ribbon minimized and set it to Enabled:

  3. There are various system file hacks that allow you to disable the ribbon completely, but I do not recommend them.


I suppose you are referring to the ribbon - rightclick on the top, and select minimize ribbon

Simply press F11 to go full screen. When you want to revert back, press it again.
