| | Re: customize the details pane in windows explorer? Yes you can. Specifically with regards tot he word count that you mentioned. In the details pane of Windows Explorer: 1) Right click one of the headers (doesn't really matter which) 2) Choose 'More...' from the menu (at the bottom) 3) Scroll through the list and select any of the options that you wish to see in the details pane.

| | Re: customize the details pane in windows explorer? It's a per-filetype registry edit. Here's the example for .doc. If you're using Office 2007, you would also want to edit .docx. Open the registry editor & navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\.doc] In the right-hand pane, you'll want to edit the value named 'Preview Details'. The various details are separated by semi-colons. Insert the string 'System.Document.Wordcount' wherever you want. In this export, it is the first detail to appear. (This is an edited export, showing only the PreviewDetails info) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\.doc] "PreviewDetails"="prop:System.Document.WordCount;*System.DateModified;System.Author;System.Keywords;*System.Size;System.Title;System.Comment;System.Category;*System.Document.PageCount;System.ContentStatus;System.ContentType;*System.OfflineAvailability;*System.OfflineStatus;System.Subject;*System.DateCreated;*System.SharedWith" -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "ElCagle" <ElCagle@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:93D1DD75-6668-4924-9E05-B3D15D63C08F@xxxxxx Quote: > Is there a way to customize what appears in the details pane? > Could I show, say, wordcounts in the details pane? > > Thank you |
