Windows XP Home, service pack 3. Classic folders view. When I open Windows Explorer I am unable to see the Path / In Folder detail. I can see Name, Size, Type, Date Modified, and when I right click I'm presented with a popup list of additional details I might want to see, but no Path / In Folder option. What am I missing here? Have I accidentally disabled some setting? By the way, Search works OK- I see the results with the In Folder (Path) detail, so why not in Explorer? Thanks!

Have I accidentally disabled some setting? Are you asking about which fields (columns) are available in Windows Explorer? If so, there is no Path/InFolder field because you obviously know in which folder is the folder as you are navigating through the folder tree. If you are using the explorer view, the folder tree is in the left pane. Even if you close the folder pane, the Address bar will show to where you navigated (if you enabled Folder Options -> View -> Display the full path in the Address bar). You'll even see the full path if you enable Folder Options -> View tab -> Display full path in the title bar. If you are using the myComputer view, you walk down into folders whose path is shown in the Address bar. If you are asking about right-clicking on a file to select Properties from the context menu, the Location field in the General tab tells you the path to the file.

Tools -> Folder Options... -> View (tab) -> Advanced settings: (pane) Check the "Display the full path in the address bar" and/or "Display the full path in the title bar" choices. Those are the only choices available in the explorer GUI ... search is different.
