FreeCommander Forum

Does it matter that much? It does its job no matter where it pops up.

The question confused me at first. I wasn't sure what you meant.

A pretty fish, cichlasoma

The file is called freecommander.ftp

After some experimentation and observation, I have found that this behavior only occurs in a non-admin Windows profile. That's probably why no one else has complained about it. I very seldom run as admin for security reasons; I'm pretty strict about that. All of my web work is done in my user accoun...

The Help file is in a separate zip file.

Is it a separate drive or a partitiion?

What is stored on that drive?

What file system, FAT or NTFS?

Can you right-click on the drive button and view Properties?

*scratches head in puzzlement at interesting problem*

Wouldn't it be simpler to just copy the files to your hard drive?

It might be an INI mixup. Take a look in Extras menu, Settings , Start program , and if you are running Vista or Win7, check "Specific for user - "Application Data" folder". Otherwise, go into Settings , View - Folder tabs, and see if "Close all not locked tabs when the prog...

I think that's more of a new feature than a bug. I was always annoyed when I right-clicked on a drive button (for "Properties", usually to see if I could stuff more files into it) and lost my place.

I hope you read English well, because I will not attempt to write in French

Free Commander does not affect Windows Explorer settings.

I've never understood why anyone would want it like that. It's hard enough for me to see what I need without putting another column in the way. (I need a large font)

I'll second all that. FC is the first thing I install in a new computer or after a Windows re-install. It's the first thing I want when I'm working on someone else's computer. I carry it on more than one USB stick and my "toolkit" CD. Of all the file managers I've tried, it's the one I've ...

Oh, yeah, the dot-dot folder (lol). That's a good suggestion (as usual).

Oh boy, foot in mouth. I was mixed up and talking through my hat, ignore what I said. I wish I could say something sensible. I don't know what could be causing the problem, unless it has something to do with your mouse. Sometimes they produce odd effects. I did try some different settings for Free C...

Can you paste with Ctrl+V?

I have never had any trouble with it, but I don't enable full row select because it does make pasting and dropping awkward.
