How to show Folder & Preview panes in Explorer?

[Brett]

When I open Windows Explorer to view files, the left pane is the folder view
and the right are all the files in that folder. If I close the folder pane,
I get an area in its place with three or four sections. For a non image
file, these sections are:
- File and Folder Task
- Other Places
- Details

For an image they are:
- Picture Task
- File and Folder Task
- Other Places
- Details

How can I have the folder pane, the details area, and files pane all open in
the same Explorer window?

Thanks,
Brett

You cannot use both views at the same time. The best you can do is what you
are already using. The Folder View icon switches you between the Common
Tasks and the Folder View.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?
