    Customizing Details Pane for folders.


    In order to customize which fields are displayed in the details pane for a given file type you can:

    1. Run Regedit.
    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAsso ciations\.mp3 (Or whatever file type you want to edit.)
    3. Edit the PreviewDetails string.

    My question is:
    Is there a way to do something similar for folders? Currently, the only info displayed in the details pane when a folder is selected is Date modified, and Availability. I would like to add other details to this pane (Size, Date created etc...). Is this possible?

    Explorer Sorting USB Folders Differently Than External HDD

    Explorer's navigation pane is sorting the folders differently than in the detail (right) pane.

    On my USB they are sorted:

    DataFiles_Mon

    DataFiles_Tue

    DataFiles_Wed

    DataFiles_Fri

    On my External HDD they are sorted:

    DataFiles_Fri

    DataFiles_Mon

    DataFiles_Tue

    DataFiles_Wed

    When I view the HDD detail pane in detail and sort by the folder names it never matches USB

    Any Ideas>
