Slimming Windows Explorer

[3-R4Z0R]

Hello guys.

I've been researching for a while on the wide internet. What I've not found is this:

- How do I remove the properties display on the bottom of every Windows Explorer window.

- Is there any better way than resource hacking to get rid of the command band/command bar on top of the Windows Explorer window?

(i.e. I want the XP style Explorer back... it's much more useful and much less bloated)

Greetings

This is probably more than you want, but Explorer++ is closer in conception to the Windows XP Explorer, is more customizable in terms of toolbar/address bar/menu bar placement, and the latest version can be configured to function as the default file manager.
