As far as I know (which ain't much!), you have to make manual backups of INI files. I make a backup every time I make major changes, with a new name to clearly identify it. I use FC Portable version, and don't know if this applies to regular version, but my installation includes a file called FreeCo...

I still had notes left in my notebook, so I just kept typing. Dreamer keeps telling me the new version is on its way, so these guides may be obsolete soon. Better grab one before that happens :P This one is for basic options to configure FC interface, like File Display modes, Custom Columns, Tabs, L...

Not a bit offended, my dear boy :D (actually, Maxine is my role model, if you've seen the Maxine greeting cards. Us crotchety old ladies are going to take over the world one day soon!) Anyway, I do understand your frustration. I've been there. I just ran another pack process, on XP Pro SP3. Here is ...

Hi GiantWaffle I'm just going to stick my nose in for a minute --- I use FC mostly on XP 32-bit and I don't have any problem with my caps getting stripped out when I zip folders and files. I've let the packer use the existing name, and applied a new name, and haven't had this happen. I haven't used ...

@Gyro -- I can duplicate that behavior, both on XP and on Vista HP 64-bit, but I don't know if this is what you are seeing. If I have only checked "Select files in NC mode" and no other options, I can not select more than one file at a time. If I turn on "extended selection with Shift...

Well, I tried again on a different computer, using XP-Pro SP3 (like my home pc) NOT A POWER USER :D I used a brand new instance of FC 2009-02, and the first time I did the font color change it looked good, hooray. But then I changed the color again, and the dreaded shrinkage happened again. Oh, I pu...

Just a guide for a colloction of all the different settings for colors and fonts in FreeCommander. Power users might think it's sissy stuff, but you would be surprised how much color can ease your work. :) You can download the pdf file (930 kb) from mediaFire.com http://www.mediafire.com/?fnjy02mtnn...

phooey. Now I will have to experiment even more to see if I can find the reason. I see this happen on various screen resolutions, and with Standard DPI, and Large DPI. Using XP Pro SP2. I thought I was imagining it, until I happened to be comparing some screen shots after loading FC with the default...

Love this idea!

Aw shucks.

Thank you guys for the compliments.

I'm glad if anybody finds it helpful. It's just a way to pay back for all the help and information I've gotten on this forum.

I started a tutorial on colors configuration, and realized I have been ignoring this problem for ages, and never asked the question before. In Settings > Colors/Fonts, there is only the option to change Statusbar font color , not font size . If I change the color from the default, the next time I op...

Like many of us here, I had to learn how to use the Favorite Tools Toolbars mostly by trial and error, and I thought it might be useful to make a tutorial. I included some little tips for portable drive users. The guide is in PDF format, 630 kb. You can download it from MediaFire (sorry, I don't own...

thank you Dreamer, that will help get me started.

I'm just a confused granny right now....

I'm sorry if this had been discussed before. I tried to Search, but can't figure out the right search terms. In the Define Favorite Tools window, in the right-hand column beneath the Programs browser are the options for Start Folder and Parameters . The Help file gives a list of the settings, but I ...

I have set Menus to "Use same size icon as toolbars", and also set toolbars to "Use Big Icons". The FC main menus show large icons. I have some FC commands assigned to Favorite Tools toolbar. Some of them have default icons, and most of them have custom icons assigned. When I go ...
