Two status bars showing up after using oldnewexplorer

Thanks for the reply

I tried that but no luck, I think you got me wrong. I want to get rid of the second windows 7 style status bar at the bottom as even if I uncheck show status bar it still remains in the bottom. If I uncheck show status bar the default windows 10 status bar hides and no matter what I do even if I uncheck show status bar in O/NEx and uninstall status bar still windows 7 style status bar show up in bottom.

 

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

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




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:



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.
