| Post subject: | Win7 Explorer status bar doesn't show free space/file size |
I did a restore of my computer yesterday and suddenly found the subject problem. I have checked all applicable settings (Win 7 and CS) and did all the troubleshooting that I could think of, but the only thing shown on status bar now is the number of items in a folder. It drives me nuts. Just wonder if anyone here knows how to fix the problem. Thanks. |

Are you sure you are looking at the status bar, and not the details pane? Look for Status Bar in the View menu. |

Yes, it's the status bar I am looking at, not the details pane. It's just impossible to mistake one for the other. The status bar worked perfectly until I did the restore. |

Try uninstalling Classic Shell, then rebooting, then installing again. It may be that its features got unregistered by the restore. Your settings will be preserved. |

Those were the first things that I tried after spotting the problem. I also tried different versions of CS including the latest beta, disabling/re-enabling the free space/total size option in CS Explorer, and complete clean installation (that is wiping all traces of CS before reinstalling), but the free space/total file size info just didn't come back. Don't know what went wrong. I've been using CS for a couple of years now and this is the first time I have this problem. |

Is that the only feature of Classic Explorer that is not working for you? For example, do you see a toolbar, do you see the Up button in the title bar, can you successfully change the style of the navigation pane? |

Everything else works like a charm, which makes the problem all the more weird. Maybe I need to do another restore to a point of time when everything was all right. |

Select 2 files in some folder, and show me a screenshot of Explorer. |

That's weird. I have not seen this before. Try few other Classic Explorer features. See if you can show the Up button and if you can disable the breadcrumbs. |

I did what you suggested and more and found out that I can't disable breadcrumbs or hide the search box. As for the Up button, I don't know if we are talking about the same thing. It only shows up on the tool bar as shown on the screenshot I uploaded, but not before or after the Back/Forward button on the address bar. Since the status bar info is the only feature of interest to me from Classic Explorer and I have already tweaked my heart out on all other areas such as auto-hiding the Explorer command bar, moving the preview panel to the bottom, and reducing line spacing in the right file panel to XP level, etc., I have decided to remove the Classic Explorer and move on now that the status bar is not working. I hope the problem will be resolved one way or another in future releases. |

Looks like the "ExplorerBHO Class" addon is not enabled (but "Classic Explorer Bar" is). Double-check the addon settings in Internet Explorer: http://www.classicshell.net/faq/#explorer_toolbar |

Wow! It works. You are the man! Thanks a million. The Classic Explorer add-on was somehow disabled in IE on my computer although I never touched it before or after I restored my computer which triggered the problem. Enabling it immediately put the genie back in the bottle! Before I posted here for help, I went as far as to check the "enable third-party browser extensions" under Internet Options. But it never occurred to me that I needed to go one step further to check the add-on settings. I'm humbled. |

I just ran into this issue where it didn't work after a re-install of my system. Thank you for the information, it fixed it for me as well! If it's on any use, I am running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. |
