Files list

wincmd.ini

This is the main configuration file which contains most of settings, except some plugins' and FTP client's options. Most of settings can be changed from dialog boxes. Very few settings can only be changed directly, either because they are not meant for the end user, or they are only a workaround to a specific problem.

For details, see Description of wincmd.ini settings.

wcx_ftp.ini

This file contains settings for Total Commander built-in FTP client.

For details, see Description of wcx_ftp.ini settings.

fsplugin.ini

This file contains settings for some File-System (WFX) plugins.

lsplugin.ini

This file contains settings for some Lister (WLX) plugins.

Location

Configuration files default location:

• under Windows Vista: "%AppData%\Ghisler" folder
• under older systems: Windows directory

The location can be changed using command line parameters. The location of the ini files can also be set in the Registry. To do this, the location can be set either at installation time, or using the standalone program inireloc.exe, available on www.ghisler.com in Addons section.
