Windows Explorer add-ons or replacements...
Talking about Microsoft's File Explorer (before that Windows
Explorer, before that File Manager). This one "Q-Dir" appears to be popular... http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Fre...ir/Screenshots Since I'm doing some serious file manipulation, what I really need is for this idiotic Microsoft Windows Explorer program to follow the highlighted folder (I suppose Classic Shell has that option). While I'm at it, tabbed file management sounds good too. When the folder in the left-hand pane is highlighted, its contents should show up in the right-hand pane. But if you use the cursor to move through folders in the left-hand pane, the contents do not show up in the right-hand pane like they should since the freaking folder name is highlighted. This has been broken since after Windows XP. Microsoft management jerks. |

Q-Dir does it!
YES! They even have a portable version. My kind of software. I suppose the payback is having their program name in the title bar, but it's worth the price. When the folder in the left-hand pane is highlighted, its contents should show up in the right-hand pane. But if you use the cursor to move through folders in the left-hand pane, the contents do not show up in the right-hand pane like they should since the freaking folder name is highlighted.

This thing should know that its follow-up shouldn't go to the
groups it considers improper. It's follow-ups should be confined to the group that it expects follow-ups to its post to go to. Don't post to all of the groups and then expect others to follow up to a chosen fewer groups. -- "s|b" me privacy.invalid wrote: Path: eternal-september.org!news.eternal-september.org!feeder.eternal-september.org!feeder.erje.net!eu.feeder.erje.net!n ews-1.dfn.de!news.dfn.de!news.informatik.hu-berlin.de!fu-berlin.de!uni-berlin.de!individual.net!not-for-mail From: "s|b" me privacy.invalid Newsgroups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt,alt.comp.os.windows-8 Subject: Windows Explorer add-ons or replacements...

Previewed a bunch of different File Manager replacements. All of
them allow using the arrow keys to navigate, almost all as the default setting. Settling on Classic Shell with just Explorer settings. It allows some important changes without having a jillion different unnecessary settings. Love that open source software. |

If this thing knew anything about PCs, it would know that
homebuilders post about major pieces of software all the time. Homebuilders naturally work with the software that's installed on every computer. Windows and browsers are commonly discussed topics in the homebuilt hardware group. -- Zaphod Beeblebrox Zaphod.Arisztid.Beeblebrox gmail.com wrote: Path: eternal-september.org!news.eternal-september.org!.POSTED!not-for-mail From: Zaphod Beeblebrox Zaphod.Arisztid.Beeblebrox gmail.com Newsgroups: alt.comp.os.windows-8 Subject: Windows Explorer add-ons or replacements...

Talking about who is allegedly in in one's kill file is for
not-quite-grown-up trolls.
