Windows XP normally shows the dimensions of image files in the status bar when they are selected.

However this has stopped working on one machine I use, the dimensions are still shown in the details section of the sidebar.

Does anyone know how to turn this functionality on or off?

are the default programs that open the image files on both PCs the same? – jay Jan 7 '11 at 11:26
yes @jay , both machines are set to use "Windows picture and fax viewer". – Alan Whitelaw Jan 7 '11 at 11:50

check that both are using same folder settings, ie Pictures not Documents or General. Source: thewinforums.com/threads/… – jay Jan 8 '11 at 4:18
@jay both are set to the same folder template ie, pictures / documents, and neither of those options enables the dimensions in the status bar. strange – Alan Whitelaw Jan 10 '11 at 13:27
