    The Status Bar of Explorer on Windows Seven does not show file properties.

    Locked

    I don’t know how many peoples use the status bar in Explorer (The defaut file mananger of Microsoft Windows) but i use it. And I have been using it too hardly since Windows 95 to Windows XP, because in the status bar, if I select one folder, I can see file size, some file properties and much more, even I see the content of folder in list form (without list details). Recently, I bought a netbook With Windows Seven, and I was surprised that this feature was REMOVED from Windows Seven. In this link [ http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/explorer-status-bar-needs-more-info-in-win7/f2e8ee44-5966-47ee-9ec7-d8dca196a308 ] someone can read more details about what I am talking about and in this another link [ http://clebermag.wordpress.com/2011/06/18/informacoes-dos-arquivos-na-barra-do-explorer/ ] I post an image in my WordPress blog (portugueese language only) where I show an example comparing a same Explorer folder in Windows XP and in windows Seven. Then, I ask a question: Why microsoft REMOVED this feature, instead only to disable?
    In the fist link of this post, many users post some advantages of the status bar… Take a look to understand what I am talking about, and post a comment about it. I think that since Bill Gates is not at Microsoft, this enterprise are becoming very corporatist and it is looking to have charge back features hitherto free.
