Windows 7 – How to Hide Explorer Toolbar and Property Bar

windows 7windows-explorer

In Windows 7, Windows Explorer has a large bar just above the status bar that contains properties of the highlighted item. Is it possible to hide this? It takes up a significant amount of screen space I'd prefer using in the file listing.

Also, is it possible to hide the tool bar for the same reason? That's what I'm calling the bar near the top with "Organize, Open, Include in Library, Share With…"

Best Answer

Organize → Layout → Details pane

And no, I don't think you can hide the toolbar in Explorer windows.
