AutoHotkey: Show the active path in the title bar (extended)

Based on AutoHotkey: Show the active path in the title bar (by SanskritFritz).

This version keeps important information from the original window title (TC instance number, RunAs-user, TC version).
To get more space it can shorten the program name from "Total Commander" to "TC" (optionally).

#SingleInstance, Force
#Persistent

sTcTitleName2 := "TC"
