Drive buttons

 

Drive buttons allow a quick drive change simply by clicking with the mouse on a button. This drive button bar isn't on by default. If you want to use it, you can activate it in Configuration - Options. In the 32 bit version of Total Commander you can also right click on a drive button to get a context menu. With this menu you can then copy or format disks, or show the properties dialog.

 

There are three types of drive buttons:

- normal drives, displayed as drive letters with icons for the drive type

- the Network Neigborhood, displayed as a backslash near a network icon

- FTP connections, shown as numbers 0..9 near a network icon.

 

New: you can now show a separate drive button bar for each file window.

 

If you have multiple removable disk drives or CD-ROM drives, you can give them individual names, by modifying the file wincmd.ini in the Windows directory. Create a new section with the title [DriveHints], and add one line per drive, like this:

 

[DriveHints]

E=ZIP drive

F=MO drive

G=CD Burner

H=CD-ROM
