Change Details shown in web view

G

Guest

Is there a way to customize the details shown in the Details portion of the
web view(left pane) in Windows Explorer? I know how to select which details
to view in the folder view (right pane) but it seems not to have a bearing on
the other.

Highly doubtful. We have a physical firewall, virus software and ad/spyware
scans.

Are the same details suposed to show in both panes?

These are mostly Office files: .doc, .xls
I would like to view details similar to the Summary that shows in the
Properties: Title, Subject, Author, Comment
Right now all I can see in the web view pane is the file name and type, even
though the other fields are filled in the Properties. Like I mentioned
before, I can get them to appear in the Detail columns in the right pane, but
not under the Details heading in the left pane.

p.s. no problem Bert

I managed to get the additional items displayed in the Web view (details
pane). Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*

In the right-pane, create a new REG_SZ value named "Details"

Assign as many Prop: types as you need.

Example:

prop:Type;DocAuthor;DocTitle;DocSubject;DocComments;Write;Size;DocRevNumber;Attributes;DocPageCount;Copyright;DocCategory;DocKeywords

Note that the above change applies to all file types. To implement this for
a particular file-type, add the "Details" in the respective ProgID. For
example, if you have Office 2000 installed and want to display more
information for .doc files, add the "Details" here:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.8]

Hope this helps!

Some other prop: types are listed here. I've not tested every prop:

Thank You! This is exactly what I needed.

I only had one small problem. I can get any property to appear except
DocComments.
I have tried rearranging the order, and eliminating all but that one
property with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Not sure why the comments does not appear. DocComments does not work here
either.

Hi JCS,

I think this is possible. Which details do you want to include, and
let
us
know the file type?
