• If I run a DOS program or a DOS command from Total Commander's command line, I always land in c:\ (or another fixed directory) instead of the current directory!
• On Windows 95, why doesn't drag&drop to the desktop work?
• How do I keep Total Commander from re-reading the directories in the file windows each time I switch to Total Commander? With network drives this can take quite some time!
• How can I quickly switch to an often used directory?
• Is there a simple way to make Total Commander display the disk space used by all directories in the current directory individually?
• The symbols in the button bar look fuzzy and unclean.
• In the file lists, Total Commander doesn't display the right icons for files associated with programs! It displays the *.ICO file type icon for all!
• How can I add a program to the button bar?
• How can I delete or change a button in the button bar?
• How can I access the context menu from Total Commander? A right click only selects the file.
• Can Total Commander use the 'Quick View' file viewers in Windows95?
• Total Commander saves the last 20 command lines, but since I often enter passwords and other confidential information, I would like to disable this function.
• Why does the frame around the current file disappear if I type something in the command line?
• After the execution of a DOS command such as DIR the window is closed so quickly that the output of the program is unreadable!
• For very big files, the 'size' column is too small to display the number. Can this be changed?
• Why are only files sorted by date/time, but not directories?
• How can I access the Windows desktop?
• Can I display files with special attributes, directories etc. in a different color?
• How can I display images other than BMP in Lister (F3) or the Quick View window (Ctrl-Q)?
• Can the slow scrolling through file lists be accelerated?
