Reset interface back to initial install

[BZee]

Is there a way to revert Total Commander back to how it was upon initial install. I'm totally lost.

Create an empty wincmd.ini file in place of your current configuration file.
Save it before you do that.

To complement what said @Horst.Epp you could:

1. in totalcmd command line type cmd
2. close all running TC instances
3. create a backup from console and delete old file

   Code: Select all

   move %commander_ini% wincmd_ini.Backup
   del %commander_ini%

4. Next time you launch TC a new empty ini will be created with default parameters

If you want to keep plugins or more, do not delete file but type notepad %commander_ini% from cmd console.
keep all sections like [????plugins] and [???plugin64]. As a first try, you can just empty [configuration] section only and see if your are not back to normal !

Thank you

Using %commander_ini% will only work from inside of TC.
You have to use the full pathname of the ini-file.

If you launch cmd from TC command line, all the TC variable are available ! (Give a try)

Code: Select all

C:\>SET
/////
COMMANDER_DRIVE=....
COMMANDER_EXE=....
COMMANDER_INI=....
COMMANDER_INSTANCE=1
COMMANDER_PATH=....
/////

You can even go to right ini folder from cmd shell using:

Code: Select all

CD /d %COMMANDER_INI%\..

yeeeeah... exactly what I was looking for.

Mr.Ghisler, it would be amazing if you integrated that little function in the HELP menu to export your settings file.
And then import also.
Maybe it is needed once but very useful.

Otherwise, the Total Commander or Windows Commander from the beginning is the best ever!

Windows and Total Commander has been my friend since 1996.
A lot of needed functions and a good-looking interface.

Thumbs up!
