customize the details pane in windows explorer?

Is there a way to customize what appears in the details pane?
Could I show, say, wordcounts in the details pane?

Thank you

Yes you can. Specifically with regards tot he word count that you mentioned.

In the details pane of Windows Explorer:
1) Right click one of the headers (doesn't really matter which)
2) Choose 'More...' from the menu (at the bottom)
3) Scroll through the list and select any of the options that you wish to
see in the details pane.

This tutorial may help you. It will show you how to change the columns
and sorting order of the files and folders.

It's a per-filetype registry edit. Here's the example for .doc. If you're
using Office 2007, you would also want to edit .docx.

Open the registry editor & navigate to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\.doc]

In the right-hand pane, you'll want to edit the value named 'Preview
Details'. The various details are separated by semi-colons. Insert the
string 'System.Document.Wordcount' wherever you want. In this export, it is
the first detail to appear. (This is an edited export, showing only the
PreviewDetails info)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\.doc]
"PreviewDetails"="prop:System.Document.WordCount;*System.DateModified;System.Author;System.Keywords; *System.Size;System.Title;System.Comment;System.Category;*System.Document.PageCount;System.ContentSt atus;System.ContentType;*System.OfflineAvailability;*System.OfflineStatus;System.Subject;*System.Dat eCreated;*System.SharedWith"
