I came to FC for a different reason than many. I like the 'File Explorer' format, but couldn't live without a column that shows the size of folders. In case someone who feels the same way comes along, here are the settings I use to do this (and to do some other stuff I like):
F10 (one panel)
Ctrl-F2 (Details)
Alt-T (Tree)
View|Show|Tooltip,Folders,Hidden,System
Tools|Define action toolbars|enable Address (Go up,Search,My Computer,Drive CDFGHIJK,CopyFullPathAsText
Tools|Settings (F12):
General|enable Auto backup
View|Tree|Management|Base Folder=desktop;Show hidden folders & archive files
View|File/Folder list|enable Show parent folder "..", enable Show gridlines
View |Folder tabs|Tab management|disable Always keep one tab open, then either Ctrl-W or exit and reopen FC
View|Tree|Color/Font/Icons|Text=Georgia,Font Selections=Red,Selection=Yellow
View|Drives|disable Show drives as button bar
Select items|NC-Mode|enable Extended selection with "Shift" and "Ctrl"(then disable Select items in NC-Mode
Save Column Profiles for
My PC:Name,Percent Full,Free Space(xx of yy),File System
Folders: Name,Size kB(Alt-F9 for folder size), Modified, Type
MyDocs:Same as above but narrower Name to fit

Re: 'File Explorer'-type settings
Now I find I need to add this to get TerraCopy to work (and even then, it now only works between panes, no longer within the same pane, as I'm about to post in Bugs):
