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.

 

Disable File Explorer Address Bar Path History?

Hello, After entering a file path manually in File Explorer, the entry is kept in the dropdown list of the address bar until I go to View > Options > Clear File Explorer History. I'd like Windows to never store these paths, if possible. I have successfully disabled autocomplete via the registry using the following guide, but it doesn't prevent the history of file paths to be stored: Turn On or Off Inline AutoComplete in File Explorer and Run Dialog I've searched and searched but can't find a solution to this, yet. Hopefully someone has something to suggest that I haven't tried. I know it's possible, since I believe I had it working on my last Win10 machine, but I'm not sure how I did it. Thanks in advance!
