    Disable status bar in file explorer


    Good DayI already uncheck "Show Status" in the options of File Explorer yet it still shows up and when I do the same by right click the status panel in folder to uncheck the "Status", once I come back to the folder it still shows up. What should I do?

    :)
     

  2. Disable the green Status online icon in the file explorer status bar?

    Thank you for your suggestion @Psychocyr
    Unfortunately, this option is already unchecked:


    Disable status bar in file explorer 317522d1612427195t-disable-green-status-online-icon-file-explorer-status-bar-ordneroptionen.png

    But the green status bar indicator is still visible/active.

    How can it be that exactly the same question (with my very specific Synology printscreen) appears here:

    with other answers then here at tenforums.com?

    Im absolutely sure that I have no connection to "windowsphone" nor I own such a phone nor I'm a member and I have never wrote there a question. They even use my WTen-Username!

    @Brink (or any other admin): Do you share this forum?

    I think I have found the reason for my indicator problem:

    Disable status bar in file explorer 12429623t-disable-green-status-online-icon-file-explorer-status-bar-offline-dateien-deaktivieren.png

    One of my file explorer context menu entries is called "Immer Offline verfügbar" (always available offline). It seems that I clicked it by accident.

    After DEACTIVATING offline files, the icon and the "status online" text are no more visible in the file explorer.
     
  3. Disable the green Status online icon in the file explorer status bar?

    I have inadvertently activated this green "Status online" icon in the Windows 10 20H2 file explorer status bar.
    This icon appears only for one Synology NAS directory.

    I don't need any online indicator or functionality.

    Where can I disable/stop this function?

    How do I close the SECOND status bar in Windows Explorer?

    In Windows Explorer, also known as File Explorer in newer versions of Windows, there is usually only one status bar at the bottom of the window that provides information about the selected file or folder. However, if you are referring to a situation where you see two status bars in your Windows Explorer window, it might be due to a customization or third-party software.

    Here are a few steps you can try to close the second status bar:

    1. Right-click on an empty area in the Windows Explorer window.
    2. In the context menu that appears, look for any options related to the status bar. It may be labeled as "Status Bar" or something similar.
    3. If you see a checkmark next to the status bar option, it indicates that the status bar is enabled. Click on the option to disable it and remove the checkmark.
    4. Check if the second status bar disappears. If it does, you have successfully closed it.
    If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that the second status bar is caused by a third-party software or customization applied to your Windows Explorer. In such cases, you might need to investigate the installed software or any customizations you have made to determine how to remove the additional status bar.

    Additionally, it's worth noting that the steps provided may vary slightly depending on the version of Windows you are using. If you can provide more specific details or a screenshot of the issue you're experiencing, I may be able to provide further assistance.
