Classic Shell: Forum

I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro, using Classic Explorer 4.2.1 the Show free space and file size in the status bar option doesn't work. Same results on three different computers, I believe this stopped working after a recent Windows Update? Not really sure. Thanks a lot.

On Windows 8.x, the status bar is drawn by Classic Shell and the built-in Explorer status bar which shows far less info can be turned off from "Folder Options" to avoid redundant status bars.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Thank you, that actually steers me in the correct direction, ironically i didn't even notice that the explorer shell toolbar is also missing, so this must be something else...weird that it's like this on three computers, i'll just do a clean install and see what happens, thanks for the help.

EDIT: Nevermind, i know exactly what i did. I recently disabled the addons in IE (which i don't use but forgot that windows explorer is in itself IE) and that's what caused the issue. This was my fault. re-enabled classic shell add-on in IE and all is well again. Thanks for your time.
