    Two status bars in file explorer, want to hide one of them?

    Could be the Status bar of Classic Shell explorer.

    You can, for example...
    - install the program without classic shell explorer (e.g. just the start menu)
    - choose not to show that status bar (option)
    - choose not to show file explorer's status bar (option)

    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
