Windows 10: Adding info in Windows 10 status bar?

New Win10 user here, coming from Win7.

I edit a lot of footage and like to know the video dimensions without right clicking each file and selecting "details". In Win7 it was displayed in the status bar, but in Win10 it doesn't look like it's here. Can I add info to this bar?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Recycle Bin Status Bar doesn't always show total size

No, this is for normal (built in Status bar). No extended info on the right side.
