    In the Shortcut pane, rectangles at the top and bottom provide a paging mechanism to access hidden icons.

The middle pane, called the Folder pane, is dockable and contains the tree control that displays the folder hierarchy for a started view.

The right pane, called the Details pane, is not dockable and contains the list control that displays one of the following items:
