How I Set Up 1.84 and 1.91

Actually, I've never investigated that...displaying all the drives in one window. But, you can set the display on one side to a tree and then click right above the window for any drive you want a tree on. Actually, better and faster than collapsing folders or scrolling in WE, I think.

The best advice I can give anyone who is used to WE is to try Total Commander for 1 month and use ONLY it. In other words, give it a chance. I use both at work. When I have to help people with problems, I use WE. But we bought a license for it for all the IT staff and all the servers we use in the 8 states we service. I always dread using WE when TC isn't available.

And as I said earlier...I've never seen it crash...yet I've seen WE dip out on me many times.

It is extremely annoying to have to keep flipping between drives (or tabs even) when working with files on different drives at the same time.

It is not the two windows that is the issue. Check previous post.

Also, compressed files are not folders and should never be displayed as such! :-\ At least it is easier to disable than XP's Explorer.

If you are talking about CD Tree command (small floating window with directory structure) - it is impossible.

If you mean Ctrl+F8 "display directory tree" command - it is impossible too , because when you hit Ctrl+F8 it will display directory structure for drive selected at nearby window.

As for "compressed files as folders" feature - it's the matter of taste. I'm always use it in this way, you're not. Alternatives are good.

Try 2xExplorer - it's small, free, and able to display unlimited number of panned windows.

[Edit: or it was Directory Opus? Don't remember exactly.]

How can I move the Address Bar to the logical position above the folder/file displays, rather than below them?

Hey, it's logical from Explorer's point of view
Anyway, you can't. It's hardcoded. TC keeps DOS/NC tradition. From that point of view it is the only place for addres bar.

Well that is rather lame. You'd think that with TC's pension for allowing customizability, it would give you a choice of where to stick the address bar. :-\

No right click context menus? Ok, that is enough of this program.
