Policy CSP - ADMX_FramePanes
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_FramePanes/NoPreviewPane
This policy setting shows or hides the Details Pane in File Explorer.
If you enable this policy setting and configure it to hide the pane, the Details Pane in File Explorer is hidden and can't be turned on by the user.
If you enable this policy setting and configure it to show the pane, the Details Pane is always visible and can't be hidden by the user.
Note
This has a side effect of not being able to toggle to the Preview Pane since the two can't be displayed at the same time.
If you disable, or don't configure this policy setting, the Details Pane is hidden by default and can be displayed by the user. This is the default policy setting.
