Enabling the details pane in the Windows Explorer is hardly a difficult thing. Here’s a simple (but detailed as ever) graphically loaded tutorial, showing how to get it done:
Step 1: Open Windows Explorer, and (optionally) navigate to a location having a couple of varied files and folders. Now, head over to the Ribbon Menu (it goes without saying that you need to expand the Ribbon Menu, using the Ctrl+F1 shortcut, if it’s not already pulled down).
Step 2: As you probably already know, the Ribbon Menu features a tabbed UI, each having a couple of tweaks. Click the View tab to activate it. Once on the View tab, simply move to the first vertical section, and click the Details pane button.
And there you have it! As seen above, Windows Explorer will now display a vertical sub-section on the right, i.e. the Details pane. To see it in action, simply click on any file or folder, and its relevant details (creation and modification date, availability, size etc.) will pop up in the details pane. Nifty, don’t you think?
