(Technewonline) Maybe File Explorer on Windows 8/Windows 8.1 utility is not really the most interesting of the desktop, but you still have to rely on this tool to move, open and search the files or to quickly check the hard drive. Few users know that, just minor tweaks to a File Explorer can work exactly the way you want.
Tab View
Multiple File Explorer settings are found in the tab View. To get started in Windows 8, go to the View tab> Options from the drop-down menu and select the "Change folder and search options".


Remove Favorites
Some users will prefer to use the Favorites feature appear on the left side of the File Explorer, because this will be the place to save and allows quick access to items you use regularly without having to dig deep into the system. But with many other users disliked this feature appears. To completely disable Favorites, select the General tab, under Section Navigation pane click away uncheck Show favorites. Then click the Apply button to apply.

Show Detailed Paths

To do so, select the View tab, scroll to the section Advanced settings> Files and Folders, then click on the option "Display the pull path in the title bar -OFF". Then change the setting from OFF to ON. Finally, click the Apply button at the bottom to apply.
Single click
If you do not like double-click to open a file or folder, you can absolutely change operations with just a single click. Under the General tab, navigate to "Click items as follows" and then click on the option "Single-click to open an item (point to select)".

There are also other options that you can explore through the Folder Options that do not affect the system. But if you have carried too many set changes and no longer remember exactly what I changed, just click the Restore Defaults button to return the value set for the File Explorer and start again.
Wish You Success!
