<P> The "Web - style" folders view, with the left Explorer pane displaying details for the object currently selected, is turned on by default . For certain file types, such as pictures and media files, a preview is also displayed in the left pane . The Windows 2000 Explorer featured an interactive media player as the previewer for sound and video files . However, such a previewer can be enabled in Windows ME through the use of folder customization templates . Windows Explorer in Windows 2000 and Windows ME allows for custom thumbnail previewers and tooltip handlers . The default file tooltip displays file title, author, subject and comments; this metadata may be read from a special NTFS stream, if the file is on an NTFS volume, or from an COM Structured Storage stream, if the file is a structured storage document . All Microsoft Office documents since Office 95 make use of structured storage, so their metadata is displayable in the Windows 2000 Explorer default tooltip . File shortcuts can also store comments which are displayed as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the shortcut . </P> <P> The right - hand pane, which usually just lists files and folders, can also be customized . For example, the contents of the system folders aren't displayed by default, instead showing in the right pane a warning to the user that modifying the contents of the system folders could harm their computer . It's possible to define additional Explorer panes by using DIV elements in folder template files . This feature was abused by computer viruses that employed malicious scripts, Java applets, or ActiveX controls in folder template files as their infection vector . Two such viruses are VBS / Roor - C and VBS.

The Indexing Service has also been integrated into the operating system and the search pane built into Explorer allows searching files indexed by its database . The ability to customize the standard buttons was also added . </P>
