I have to solve this issue again - FC freezes at start and asks for permissions to various folders. It's not a bug literally, but bad design.
How to reproduce this behavior:
Presumption: FC starts in last opened folders (I believe this is default setting).
- Open some remote folder (Exchange server)
- Apply Flat View in this panel
- Close FreeCommander
- Disconnect PC from network
- Start FC
Because last viewed folder is not availible anymore, FC goes to This Computer instead. But Flat View is remains active for this panel - so it tries to load every file in the computer.
Solution:
Disable Flat View at program startup.
Thanks for great FreeCommander!
